A third type of fat, "beige fat," is found in white adipose tissue, but unlike white-fat cells, these cells contain UCP-1. Beige-fat cells seem to have the flexibility to act like either white fat or brown fat, depending on the situation, according to the Endocrine Connections paper. ...
Belkaid's team found that monkeys also have plenty of memory T-cells in their body fat, and that these cells worked better than those from other organs. "It means that fat tissue is not only a reservoir for memory cells, but those memory cells have enhanced function, " says Belkaid. the...

These follicles that cycle together are called a “zone” of follicles. Some developmental stage 6 hair follicles with a thin elongated papilla are also present (white arrowhead). The connective tissue of the dermis is slightly more compact compared to earlier time points, but still palely ...

He added that most people would prefer to increase brown fat levels by taking pills rather than ice baths and is optimistic about translating the newest finding into an effective medication.

The scientists first identified several stromal cell subpopulations in the fat tissue of mice, then isolated these subpopulations and studied their cellular behavior. Unexpectedly, they found that one of these subpopulations not only fails to differentiate into fat cells, it also actively suppresses the...
Adipose tissue is not able to buffer dietary lipids and it leads to ectopic deposition of fat in other organs like the liver, heart or skeletal muscles. Lipotoxicity in adipose tissue increases the volume of reactive oxygen species (ROS) the excess of which causes cellular damage and leads to...
Horowitz said it's important to perform long-term studies to track people as they start and maintain anexercise programfor several years to see how their fat tissue changes—even if they don't change the amount of fat tissue they have. It's also important to know if there is a type or...
In addition to being associated with a massive expansion of adipose tissue, obesity is also associated with a cluster of metabolic alterations, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular and hepatic diseases. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to unravel the underlying mechanisms that lead to ...
