Researchers have discovered the brain uses fat the same way muscles do — as an alternative fuel to glucose — going against ...

Many people with cancer experience dramatic loss of muscle and fat tissue. In many cases, even the heart muscle is affected, which further weakens the body. This wasting syndrome, known as cachexia, ...

Researchers have uncovered hidden biological changes in fat tissue during weight loss, including cellular cleanup and ...

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a complex chain of molecular chatter by which cancer cells, exploiting ordinary ...

Absence of cysteine in mice coaxed fat-storing cells to burn energy, causing weight loss and offering potential therapeutic ...

Scientists have produced the first detailed characterization of the changes that weight loss causes in human fat tissue by ...

Losing excess weight has “hidden benefits” and helps clear out damaged and ageing cells, scientists have discovered. They examined hundreds of thousands of cells to produce the first very detailed ...
