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

High intramuscular fat, older age, and low serum albumin can predict mortality in patients starting dialysis, while albumin ...

Obesity is causally linked with the development of cardiovascular disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that cardiovascular disease is the collateral damage of obesity-driven adipose tissue ...

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 ...

Adipose tissue is generally categorized into two types with opposing functions: lipid-storing white adipose tissue (WAT) and lipid-burning brown adipose tissue (BAT). The latter tissue can dissipate ...

Human breast milk is uniquely adapted to meet an infant's nutritional needs. Surprisingly, we still know very little about how milk is even made in the breast.

In the lean, healthy state, adipose tissue (AT) has critical roles in maintaining organismal homeostasis. Paramount among the various roles of AT is the regulation of whole body metabolism. While ...

3D-printed tumor models mimic human tissue to improve surgical imaging research by Ashlyn Grotegut, Texas Tech University ...

One of the key factors in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to optimize the interaction between seed cells and scaffolds such that the cells can grow in naturally biomimetic conditions.

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 ...
