Discover how fat cells, beyond mere storage, can be harnessed for innovative weight loss therapies through energy expenditure ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB ...

A high-fat diet makes your fat cells larger, inflamed and dysfunctional, putting you at increased risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Now, scientists want to figure out how to get our bodies ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Researchers found that GLP-1 medicines caused weight loss mainly through fat reduction, with only modest decreases in absolute muscle mass and no disproportionate loss of muscle function. In mice, ...

For decades, treatment of peripheral artery disease has focused almost exclusively on restoring blood flow. Now, new research ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell. Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how our cells manage to stay healthy by recycling important fat molecules. Their study ...
