Impaired Plakophilin-2 in obesity breaks cell cycle dynamics to breed adipocyte senescence

Abstract Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) is a key component of desmosomes, which, when defective, is known to promote the fibro-fatty infiltration of heart muscle. Less attention has been given to its role in adipose tissue. We report here that levels of PKP2 steadily increase during fat cell differentiation,...
