Scientists have discovered new fat cell subpopulations with specialized functions, revealing differences between subcutaneous ...

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 ...

The study was published Jan. 28 in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. Previous research has shown that during fibrosis, fat cells in the skin called adipocytes are depleted. Why that happens ...

"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 ...
