Scientists have identified a potent pathway originating in the brain that can cause the rapid depletion of all body fat, including stubborn fat deposits that typically resist diet and exercise. This ...

Ordinary fat cells in obese animals can be induced to burn energy stores, generating substantial heat, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. In the study, published ...

Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB ...

Unlike white fat, brown fat is specialized to burn energy. Brown adipose cells are packed with mitochondria – the tiny power plants inside cells – and contain a protein called UCP1 that allows them to ...

Scientists transformed energy-storing white fat cells into calorie-burning ‘beige’ fat. Once implanted, they outcompeted tumors for resources, beating back five different types of cancer in lab ...

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren’t often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new approach to treating cancer that uses engineered fat cells to deprive tumors ...
