Most of the fat we carry is white adipose tissue, the body’s primary energy-storage system, designed to stockpile excess ...

New cells discovered in human omental adipose tissue inhibit fat cell formation, revealing why 'apple' body shapes may pose higher metabolic health risks. Understanding how fat tissue forms and ...

Metabolic diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance are rapidly increasing worldwide, but fundamental ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. Until now researchers ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a team of scientists examined how adipose tissue, specifically fat cells, retains transcriptional changes even after significant weight loss, potentially leading ...

Understanding how fat tissue forms and functions is crucial for addressing obesity and related metabolic diseases. However, adipose tissue, or body fat, behaves differently based on its location in ...

This approach uses mesenchymal stem cells isolated from a patient’s own fat tissue to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The stem cells are supposed to assist in repair of damaged tissue and ...
