Understanding how fat tissue forms and functions is crucial for addressing obesity and related metabolic diseases. However, ...

CellGenTech, headquartered in Chiba, Japan, is pioneering the use of a new cell type—adipocytes suitable for gene therapy—for ex vivo applications in a range of diseases caused by single-gene ...

A review in Current Research in Food Science explores how bioactive compounds in coffee, tea, and cocoa combat obesity by ...

Obesity research distinguishes subpopulations of adipose cells and suggests possibilities for modulating the behavior of specific fat depots ...

It has also been linked to reducing the risk of diabetes, lowering cholesterol, relieving symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and ...

Research has shown that cinnamon, commonly used in festive treats such as mulled wine and Christmas cake, could boost your ...

Enlargement of adipocytes is the main mechanism of weight gain in adults, but total fat is also influenced by adipocyte numbers—obese people, on average, have more adipocytes than nonobese people.

Scientists mapped human bone marrow cells, finding new cell types and oxygen-rich areas critical for blood development.

Over the past two decades, there has been a revolution in understanding of the active roles played by enteroendocrine cells in the intestines and endocrine function of adipocytes in the modulation of ...

Consequently, this impedes the phagocytic process through which macrophages eliminate spent adipocytes. Conversely, macrophages deficient in TM4SF19 demonstrated significantly enhanced efficacy in ...

Adipose tissue is responsible for the many negative effects that obesity and overweight have on our metabolic health. However, there are two types of fat: the more common white one, in which excess ...
