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 ...

Scientists mapped fat tissue differences in obese individuals, uncovering cell changes linked to metabolic disease risk and ...

Although obese individuals are at greater risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, not all obese people ...

However, the increasing recognition that adipose tissue contains therapeutically useful cells, adipocytes suitable for gene therapy, with numerous advantages over other stem-cell sources ...

Body weight and body mass index alone are not enough to predict whether someone will develop a metabolic disease. A new atlas of cells in fat tissue could help to explain why some overweight people ...

And that is paradigm shifting.” While LCs looked like adipocytes, whole-tissue lipidomics performed on ear lipo-cartilage and groin adipose tissue revealed that the composition of the different fats ...

Adipose tissue comes in three colors ... the authors concluded that local hyperthermia could induce thermogenesis in humans by activating beige adipocytes. Roland Stimson, an endocrinologist at the ...

In contrast to WAT, brown adipose tissue (BAT) converts excess energy into heat via uncoupled respiration, which is dependent, in part, on expression by brown adipocytes of the uncoupling protein ...

Recently, another type of cells called brown-in-white (BRITE) or beige cells, in white adipose tissue (WAT) have been found.3 BRITE cells possess a multilocular morphology, enriched mitochondria and ...

For the study, it was vital that the adipose tissue cells were not all simply lumped together, as this tissue comprises not only fat cells (adipocytes) but also cells of other types.
