Transcriptomic heterogeneity of microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) within subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in preclinical models of obesity/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is well-established. Here, we examined if such heterogeneity exists between two canonical insulin-target tissues, SAT and skeletal muscle (SkM). Characterisation of SAT and SkM MVEC from humans with T2DM demonstrated that SAT, but not SkM, exhibited cellular stress at transcriptomic, morphological, and protein levels.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
