Scientists in California tested a way to coax certain fat cells to burn calories, rather than simply store energy. In new research involving mice, the team found it was possible to convert existing ...

Scientists have spotted unique subtypes of fat cells in the human body, and by unraveling their functions, they found that ...

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 ...

BEER-SHEVA, Israel, February 18, 2025 – 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 ...

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. The discovery in mice ...

A mouse study shows that beige fat, previously known for its heating function, may also lower blood pressure by keeping blood vessels relaxed. The same may go for brown fat in humans.

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 new study has created the first single-cell map of how DNA is regulated and organized inside different cell-types of human fat tissue. The research shows that many genetic risk factors for abdominal ...

New research reveals that while losing weight can rejuvenate aging fat tissue, stubborn immune cells keep a “memory” of obesity, offering fresh targets for lasting metabolic health. Study: Selective ...

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 ...
