More specifically, we illustrated the role of various cells (adipocyte progenitors, macrophages, mast cells, and group 1 innate lymphoid cells) and molecules (including hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, transforming growth factor-beta, platelet-derived growth factor, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) in the pathogenesis of fat fibrosis in other diseases to understand the role of creeping fat fibrosis in CD pathogenesis. This evidence concerns the gene PPARG and Cowden disease.
