Drug developers are racing to design molecules that coax our cells into burning more energy even when we are sitting still, ...

BEER-SHEVA, Israel, February 18, 2025 – A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. The discovery in mice ...

Scientists discovered a new type of fat cell precursor (CP-A) that appears specifically during middle age, causing rapid increase in belly fat regardless of diet and exercise habits. Over 80% of fat ...

A common fatty acid in olive oil, as well as many other plant oils, has been found to stimulate the body's production of new fat cells, creating conditions that could – over time – lead to more fat ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have figured out how to turn ordinary white fat cells, which store calories, into beige fat cells that burn calories to maintain body temperature. Until now researchers ...

A new study says consuming olive oil could increase the number of 'fat cell soldiers' in the army, leading to obesity and heart problems. They say olive oil is liquid gold — but too much might be ...

New research reveals that while losing weight can rejuvenate aging fat tissue, stubborn immune cells keep a “memory” of obesity, offering fresh targets for lasting metabolic health. Study: Selective ...

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 ...

Our body fat may turn out to be a secret weapon in our everlasting fight against cancer. A new study released this week suggests that fat cells can be engineered into a treatment that literally ...
