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 ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Anne Loft, Associate Professor Jesper Grud Skat Madsen, and Professor Susanna ...

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 ...

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 ...

Finding the molecular key that will see fat tissue turn from white to brown has huge potential for obesity treatments, and for weight loss in general. Yet the cellular code has been a hard one to ...

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 ...

A new mouse study suggests that "beige" fat surrounding blood vessels can send calming signals to the arteries—revealing an ...

It is well known that obesity typically leads to inflammation and dysfunction of fat tissue that increases the risk of ...

Evidence is mounting that our body fat supports everything from our bone health to our mood, and now, research suggests it ...

Researchers show how beige fat communicates with blood vessels and helps keep blood pressure in a healthy range.
