Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, ...

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and ...

Individuals who were conceived in colder seasons are more likely to show higher brown adipose tissue activity, increased ...

Absence of cysteine in mice coaxed fat-storing cells to burn energy, causing weight loss and offering potential therapeutic ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers demonstrated infection of human adipose tissue by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Researchers have found nerve pathways that supply brown adipose tissue (BAT), a type of tissue that releases chemical energy from fat metabolism as heat -- a finding that could pave the way toward ...

NPC1 mRNA was measured by RT-qPCR in lean and obese individuals, paired samples of subcutaneous (sc) and omental (om) WAT, before and after weight loss, in isolated adipocytes and intact adipose ...

Fancher now plans to study gene expression in human adipose tissue. In collaboration with Dr. Caitlin Halbert, director of bariatric surgery at ChristianaCare, Fancher aims to determine whether ...

A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

Introduction In the context of the increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight, brown adipose tissue (BAT) has re-emerged as a potentially vital human organ.
