A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. When Wolfrum and his team used single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse fat cells they found that adipocytes came in 10 varieties. These findings expand the limited ...

as this tissue comprises not only fat cells (adipocytes) but also cells of other types. “In fact, the adipocytes are in the minority,” explains Isabel Reinisch, a postdoc in Wolfrum’s group and second ...

"Adipocytes [fat cells] are known to go through a kind of identity crisis in obesity — they kind of forget who they are and what they are supposed to be doing," Hinte told Live Science.

Scientists mapped fat tissue differences in obese individuals, uncovering cell changes linked to metabolic disease risk and ...

“In these bone marrow-transplanted individuals, they can actually find fat cells with genomic information from the donor and not from the recipient,” said Philipp Scherer, director of the Touchstone ...

While the adipocyte has been studied for many years and remarkable insights have been gained about some processes, many areas of the physiology of the fat cell remain unexplored. Our understanding ...

Our body fat may turn out to be a secret weapon in our everlasting fight against cancer. A new study released this week suggests that fat cells can be engineered into a treatment that literally ...

Special fat cells known as brown adipocytes help maintain body temperature by converting calorie-rich nutrients into heat.
