His research group labeled various fatty acids in this way and added them in a nutrient medium to mouse fat cells. The mouse cells then incorporated the labeled molecules into triglycerides.

"Apart from the muscle- and bone-inducing signals, not much is known about the initial switch from stem cell to labeled 'pre-fat' cell," says Daniel Lane, Ph.D., professor of biological chemistry.

Your friends and family will likely applaud your substantial weight loss — but your cells may resist change. New research finds that obesity can trigger genetic modifications within fat cells ...

Now, a new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beersheba has characterized ...

When they transplanted these cells from mice of various ages into another group of younger mice, they noticed the creation of large numbers of fat cells within the younger mice. However ...

That’s why she—and many others working to improve lab-grown meat—consider growing superlative fat cells to be key to ... researchers might use isotope-labeled molecules to study metabolic ...

Or were they importing them from the nearby adipocytes (fat cells)? To investigate, postdoctoral fellow Maomao Zhang labeled the lipids in the adipocytes with a fluorescent marker. Then she put the ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. The discovery in mice ...

However, the tissue distribution of the injected cells remains unknown. In this study we tracked i.c.-injected adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in various tissues. Rat paratesticular fat was ...
