Researchers at Jiangmen Central Hospital (China) investigated the association between red blood cell folate and visceral adipose tissue in young and middle-aged adults in the United States using ...

Macrophages are implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here ...

This is a well-written study that presents a solid genetic screen to identify regulators of adipose morphology and remodeling in zebrafish. The authors generated a rigorous screening platform based on ...

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

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and longevity.

Background:In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), adipose tissue expansion (because of larger adipocytes) results in reduced microvascular density which is thought to lead to adipocyte hypoxia ...

In an upcoming research project, adipose-derived stem cells and vascular endothelial cells will be cultured on a three-dimensional tissue chip to study their angiogenic potential.

imageimageSystemic signals from distant tissues can influence tumor cell growth. This study reveals an inter-organ signaling loop in Drosophila that involves the adipose tissue-derived Toll ligand ...

Adipose tissue, which is a metabolically dynamic organ, is the primary storage site for excess energy, while at the same time being an endocrine organ that synthesizes numerous biologically active ...

Cancer screening poses a quandary for women with dense breast tissue. They’re at elevated risk for breast cancer, but mammograms often miss tumors buried in dense breasts — and insurers often ...

The ELISA test is a medical test that measures your blood’s antibodies. Learn about how it can help you get better medical treatment, what to expect, and more.
