A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

However, previous studies have mostly examined extracellular vesicles obtained from adipocytes and adipose tissue of mice.

From that, the authors concluded that local hyperthermia could induce thermogenesis in humans by activating beige adipocytes. Roland Stimson, an endocrinologist at the University of Edinburgh in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers investigate the underlying mechanisms of endothelial insulin resistance involved in obesity-associated diabetes.
