Liposuction and plastic surgery aren't often mentioned in the same breath as cancer. But they are the inspiration for a new ...

This research perspective primarily draws from mouse studies, and human biology may respond differently to brown fat manipulation. The genetic modification used in these experiments isn’t directly ...

Scientists at UC San Francisco have pioneered a groundbreaking approach to fighting cancer using engineered fat cells. By ...

This finding points to potential interventions for obesity-related diseases by manipulating brown fat to enhance energy ... However, further human studies would be required to assess how this ...

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 ...

White adipose tissue mostly stores energy, while brown fat (its cells have more mitochondria and that gives them a brown hue) is responsible for heat generation or thermogenesis, the process that ...

The importance of dietary fat composition for ectopic fat storage in humans is unknown. We investigated liver fat accumulation and body composition during overfeeding saturated fatty acids (SFAs ...

Liposuction and plastic surgery aren't often mentioned in the same breath as cancer.But they are the inspiration for a new ...

Researchers at CNIO have discovered that blocking the mitochondrial protein MCJ in brown fat increases heat production and leads to weight loss in obese mice, offering protection against ...

An extraordinary opportunity to observe Alaskan brown bears in their natural habitat in Alaska. Based at an exclusive fly-in ...
