In medically indicated weight loss, attention is typically focused on the associated health benefits. However, recent research findings suggest that recovery from obesity-induced systemic inflammation ...

This approach uses mesenchymal stem cells isolated from a patient’s own fat tissue to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The stem cells are supposed to assist in repair of damaged tissue and ...

Fibrosis, resulting from excess extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is a feature of adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction and obesity-related insulin resistance. Emerging evidence indicates that ...

Researchers are attempting to uncover the basics of how fat tissue is structured and, specifically, inflammation associated with obesity, in the hopes of unlocking the connection between the ...

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has emerged as a significant player in the regulation of vascular health, complementing ...

TNBCs rely on fatty acid oxidization (FAO) to fuel tumor growth by breaking down surrounding adipose tissue through lipolysis. Gap junctions, particularly involving GJB3 and connexin 31 (Cx31), ...

The common forms of type 2 diabetes are caused by a constellation of genetic and epigenetic factors and molecular changes related to diet; lifestyle, including lack of exercise and sleep; ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers demonstrated infection of human adipose tissue by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Study: SARS-CoV-2 ...

Doctoral Researcher Amna Adnan investigated the impact of obesity on the immunomodulatory and angiogenic potential of adipose-derived stem cells. Where previous studies have relied on animal models ...
