Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, ...

It's no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle age, but the problem isn't strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates ...

Different kinds of fat cell progenitors that are found at different anatomical locations may follow different developmental paths. By identifying the progenitors and mapping the paths, which may ...

Researchers focused on a group of stem cells called adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) within the fatty tissue responsible for age-related weight gain.

Fat cells are known to get larger as people get older, and scientists hypothesized that white adipose tissue (WAT) also starts creating more fat cells during aging. The investigators first collected ...

Keeping weight off during middle age is not easy. As the years pass, many people—especially men—find themselves gaining stubborn belly fat. Now, researchers have uncovered key reasons why this happens ...

It’s no secret that our waistlines often expand in middle-age, but the problem isn’t strictly cosmetic. Belly fat accelerates aging and slows down metabolism, increasing our risk for developing ...

To deliver volatile flavorants, including aldehydes, alcohols, esters, furans, and ketones, researchers grow adipocyte progenitor cells on 3D scaffolds and feed them culture media and growth ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

For the study, a team of researchers led by Philipp Leucht, an orthopedic surgeon and bone biology researcher at New York University, focused on skeletal stem and progenitor cells (SSPC), which are ...

To test this, Wang and her colleagues transplanted adipocyte progenitor cells, or APCs, from both young and middle-aged mice into young mice.
