Aging appears to unlock adult stem cells programmed to create more problematic belly fat cells, new research in mice and ...

Here’s the big finding: In experiments, stem cells from older mice produced a colossal number of new fat cells, while those from young mice barely created any. Similar patterns were found in ...

New research finds aging unleashes a new type of fat-producing stem cell, explaining why belly fat builds up in middle age. (CREDIT: CC BY-SA 4.0) As the years pass, many people—especially men ...

It’s no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn’t strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

The total number of fat cells stays equal after a diet program, study showed Bottom Line: Fat cells can shrink, but they don't go away. What if your doctor told you that even after the weight ...

New research shows how aging shifts stem cells into overdrive to create more belly fat. It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic.

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...
