However, uncontrolled cell death response can drive excessive tissue damage, leading to disease severity. Scientists have strived to pinpoint how zoonotic viruses that originate from bats ...

This bat species is part of the leaf-nosed bat family, meaning they have a triangular flap of tissue shaped like a leaf at the end of their noses. Those noses help them detect the scent of ...

Vatner, Jie Zhang, and Stephen F. Vatner, evaluated the role of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a special type of fat that burns calories to generate heat, in improving exercise endurance and ...

The body uses brown fat (called brown adipose tissue, or BAT) to stay warm in cold temperatures. Considered a "good" fat, BAT ...

Zwaka and other scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have also managed to extract cells from bat tissue and convert them into pluripotent stem cells, which can be studied to ...

Vatner, Jie Zhang, and Stephen F. Vatner, evaluated the role of brown adipose tissue (BAT), a special type of fat that burns calories to generate heat, in improving exercise endurance and ...

Newly reported research in human tissue and in mice has uncovered a mechanism by which brown fat (brown adipose tissue; BAT) is converted into heat, and identified a control protein that may ...

ugr.es Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has the ability to oxidise glucose and lipids, and dissipate energy in the form of heat.1 Thus, it could provide one method to influence energy balance—and therefore, ...

This study, published in Nature Communications, sheds light on how activating brown adipose tissue (BAT) could pave the way for innovative treatments for diabetes and metabolic disorders.
