The Adipovascular Unit in Lipedema: A Framework for Regional Adipose Tissue Dysregulation
Highlights What are the main findings? The adipovascular unit (AVU) is proposed as a system-level framework linking progenitor, vascular, immune, extracellular matrix, and adipocyte compartments in lipedema. The framework integrates regional susceptibility and reciprocal multicellular signaling while distinguishing lip...
