Adipose tissue is not an inert cell mass contributing only to the storage of fat, but a sophisticated ensemble of cellular components with highly specialized and complex functions. In addition to ...

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body.

Adipose tissue, when carried around ... away from tissues such as liver and muscle into adipose tissue where these triglycerides can be stored in a more inert fashion. As a result, decreased lipid ...

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

Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised not merely as an inert energy reservoir but as a dynamic endocrine organ intricately involved in whole‐body metabolic regulation. Both white and brown ...

ADIPOSE tissue, previously thought to be metabolically inert, has now been recognized as one of the most active tissues in the body,1 being a major site of insulin activity and carbohydrate-lipid i ...

Fat responds to signals like the hormone insulin, which tells adipose tissue to store fat. “There are also nerves that go from your brain to your fat and say, ‘Hey, we don’t have enough ...

Brown adipose tissue (BAT), or brown fat, is one of two types of fat. Scientists are looking at whether increasing brown fat may reduce obesity.

The adipose tissue, which serves as an endocrine organ, releases various molecules that regulate the repair of other damaged tissues, including the skin. Hence, adipose tissues can potentially be ...

However, the 3D bioprinting conditions have not been optimized for adipose tissues. Now, researchers from Korea have developed a novel method for 3D adipose tissue bioprinting using a hybrid bioink.
