For example, fat cells, also called adipocytes, and immune cells work in concert to communicate with the brain, muscles and liver. This, in turn, helps to regulate appetite, metabolism and body weight ...

CellGenTech, headquartered in Chiba, Japan, is pioneering the use of a new cell type—adipocytes suitable for gene therapy—for ex vivo applications in a range of diseases caused by single-gene ...

14 However, it is not yet known whether the individual response to obesity (i.e., hyperplasia or hypertrophy of adipocytes) and its metabolic complications are genetic or acquired. We studied this ...

It is a key component in the finely tuned energy homeostasis of adipocytes and disturbances to this process can cause adipocytes to release more fatty acids into the bloodstream, which can lead to ...

Prof. Shan Tizhong's team at Zhejiang University discovered that lard derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), as a ...

Adipocytes differentiated in vitro, containing fat deposits (yellow) and the Cav-1 protein in the cell membrane (magenta).

A transformative study has uncovered the pivotal role of the protein Naked cuticle homolog 2 (NKD2) in regulating the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for various metabolic diseases and, in many cases, causes ectopic fat accumulation (i.e.

A transformative study has uncovered the pivotal role of the protein Naked cuticle homolog 2 (NKD2) in regulating the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.

The adipocytes of metabolically unhealthy individuals show a reduced ability to burn fat and produce more immunological molecules. These changes could trigger an immune response promoting metabolic ...
