Taken together, these experiments confirm the identity and maturity of the hPSC-derived white and brown adipocytes and indicate that the cells could be used to faithfully model human disease.

Possible anti-obesity effects of white tea have been demonstrated in a series of experiments on human fat cells (adipocytes). Researchers have shown that an extract of the herbal brew effectively ...

Mice were then exposed to mild cold stress, and researchers traced whether these cells became brown adipocytes in various adipose tissues in the body. Results suggested that in classic brown ...

Currently, we are primarily exploring white adipose ‘beiging’, the conversion of white adipocytes into beige fat cells, brown-like adipocytes found within white fat depots. Unlike white adipocytes, ...

A study led by the University of Bonn has identified a molecule - the purine inosine - that boosts fat burning in brown adipocytes ... it keeps newborns warm, in human adults, brown fat activation ...
