Thermoregulation is fundamental to mammalian survival, involving a finely tuned balance between heat production and loss. Integral to this process is brown adipose tissue (BAT), a specialised fat ...

In medically indicated weight loss, attention is typically focused on the associated health benefits. However, recent ...

Obesity plays a crucial role in how severely blood vessels are damaged—and this depends on where excessive fat accumulates in ...

Background Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have great potential as therapeutic agents in regenerative medicine. Numerous animal studies have ...

Inhibition of haem synthesis is shown to lead to the accumulation of branched-chain amino acids in the brown adipose tissue of mice, which reduces UCP1 levels and impairs thermogenesis.

Guo and his group at MIT set out to look into the mechanics of tissue deformation, and the role of intercellular flow in particular, following a study they published in 2020.

With the aid of a 3D printer, researchers at Uppsala University have succeeded in creating a model that resembles human nerve tissue. The model, which can be cultured from the patient’s own ...

New nanobody-based method, POD-nAb/FT-GO 3D-IHC, enables ultra-fast, high-resolution labeling of neurons and glia deep within 1-mm-thick brain tissue, revealing cellular structures in just three days.
