“There were some fat cells that stained, which were the true adipocytes ... cells lipochondrocytes (LCs), and after a decade of investigation into their structure and function, the team published ...

in the chromatin structure of adipocytes, which remain even after the fat mass is reduced. These modifications—such as changes in histone acetylation and DNA methylation—impair the cell's ...

Focal adhesions are specialized structures that act as anchor points ... The most surprising twist came when the team turned to fat cells — or rather, pre-fat cells. These are cells that ...

The scientists were inspired to deploy P-G3 against fat cells after finding that some fat tissue contains a negatively charged extracellular matrix (ECM), the support structure for the cells.

are smaller than fat cells and lack a lipid depot. They churn out molecules that combine into a stiff latticework called the extracellular matrix, which provides structure and support to 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 ...

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 ...

Yuen explained that the idea for the study came from observing the simplistic structure of fat cells, or adipocytes, under a microscope. Growing fat cells in their final aggregated form is an ...

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 ...

The study reveals how ER-stressed adipocytes remotely regulate UPR activation in hepatocytes through the secretion of ceramide (Cer), a fat molecule that plays a major role in cell structure ...
