The common forms of type 2 diabetes are caused by a constellation of genetic and epigenetic factors and molecular changes related to diet; lifestyle, including lack of exercise and sleep; ...

A research team has identified an essential mechanism in fat cells (adipocytes) that enables them to enlarge safely to store energy. This process avoids tissue damage and protects the body from the ...

Our fat cells, called adipocytes, do more than just store extra weight. They play a key role in managing the body's energy. Adipocytes accumulate fat in the form of lipid droplets that the body can ...

Adipose tissue is an underappreciated and misunderstood organ. Capable of more than doubling in mass and then returning to baseline, 1 white adipose tissue (WAT) continues to play an essential role in ...

WAT and BAT function antagonistically–WAT stores energy and BAT releases energy. The balance between these two cell types changes over an organisms' lifetime. The major microscopic constituent of ...
