More than a decade ago, while studying fat cells in the mouse ear skin ... “They found that the cells have different morphology, gene expression profiles, functions, and biomechanical properties. It ...

Mice on a high-fat diet treated with this molecular complex showed reduced body weight and improved metabolic profiles. The method, reported today (October 5) in Nature Materials, provides a new way ...

Now, scientists have revealed that a newly discovered 'fat gene' could be to blame. Experts from the University of Cambridge say that a mutation to a gene called DENND1B reduces the ability ...

Research suggests a fat cell's "memory" of past obesity changes ... Epigenetic changes occur when gene expression is altered by our environment — meaning that rapid weight gain isn't necessarily ...

Among the lesser-spotlighted roles of the immune system is how a particular T cell helps maintain homeostasis—fostering a balanced and stable metabolic environment—in fat cells. It's a role ...

However, today's lifestyle of poor diet choices and lack of exercise can cause too much fat to build up in ... we've identified a specific marker -- the Asah1 gene -- that could help us predict ...

This group renders the MRI contrast agent sensitive to expression of the commonly used marker gene, β-galactosidase ... with the exception that one cell at the two cell stage was injected ...

This study has examined the utility of a marker that is rapidly becoming a powerful tool in hematopoietic cell-directed gene therapy. The GFP marker significantly enhances the ability to track and ...
