Scientists have known hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) as the enzyme that releases energy stored in our fat. Yet patients born ...
When it comes to skin infections, a healthy and robust immune response may depend greatly upon what lies beneath. In a new paper, researchers report the surprising discovery that fat cells below the ...
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine say they have made an unexpected finding: fat cells below the skin help protect us from bacteria. Richard Gallo, M.D., Ph.D., ...
Multipotent mesechymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been recognized as a source of adipocytes both in vivo and in vitro. It is reported that, simultaneous activation of canonical signaling pathways by ...
National Taiwan University researchers, with collaborators in Taiwan and the US, report that adipocyte lipolysis activates ...
Researchers led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), report a new approach that deprived tumors of nutrition in cancer models, and may one day lead to a new approach that can be ...
Adipocytes can be converted into mesenchymal stem cells, which can then be converted into megakaryocytes. These megakaryocytes can be used to produce platelets, which may be a source of safer platelet ...
Mice that eat during the active phase of their daily circadian cycle burn more calories through enhanced thermogenesis, mitigating the development of obesity, researchers report. The findings help ...
Dr. Yizhi Sun, an assistant professor of biochemistry, will speak on Wednesday, Oct. 29. In his talk, he will share key discoveries from his research that provide new insights into the interplay ...
