For the first time, researchers have identified a protein that represses the activity of energy-burning brown fat. The ...

Body fat, or adipose tissue, is a complex organ. It contains fat cells, nerves, immune cells, and connective tissue. Its main job is to store and release energy, depending on the body’s needs ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a team of scientists examined how adipose tissue, specifically fat cells, retains transcriptional changes even after significant weight loss, potentially ...

The epigenetic modifications in adipose tissue "prime" the fat cells to respond in a way that promotes fat storage and metabolic dysfunction, which could explain the rapid weight regain seen in ...

your fat cells retain an "epigenetic memory" of being fat. Think of it like cellular PTSD, except instead of flashbacks, your adipose tissue keeps its inflammation party going long after the ...

Healthy fat, or adipose tissue, is essential for normal physiology, the authors wrote. Many mammals have three “shades” of fat cells: white, brown and beige. White fat (white adipose tissue ...

Applying the technology to samples of adipose tissue obtained from donors made it possible to identify known types of cells comprising the tissue, such as fat cells, blood vessel cells ...

The majority of each adipocyte (fat cell) is filled with a lipid droplet (yellow). Cell nuclei are red. Adipocytes form adipose tissue, which stores energy as an insulating layer of fat.

regulatory T cells, commonly known as Tregs. These soldiers of the immune system play a dynamic role in the form of white fat known interchangeably as visceral fat—visceral adipose tissue ...

A study from Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School raises questions about a new class of weight loss drugs — and ...

Adipose tissues ... The findings revealed that the tissue assembly promoted wound healing in mice by inducing re-epithelialization, tissue remodeling, and blood vessel formation and regulated the ...
