Adipose tissue is increasingly recognised not merely as an inert energy reservoir but as a dynamic endocrine organ intricately involved in whole‐body metabolic regulation. Both white and brown ...

A new class of fat cells makes people healthier. The cells consume energy and produce heat through seemingly pointless biochemical reactions. Fat cells come in three colours: white, brown, and beige.

For years, scientists have known that someone who is thin could still end up with diabetes. Yet an obese person may be surprisingly healthy. Now, new research led by scientists at the University of ...

Scientists have found an interesting link between beige fat and high blood pressure. Michela Ravasio/Stocksy People who have obesity generally have more white fat — known as white adipose tissue — in ...

Studies in mice suggest that beige fat surrounding blood vessels actively works to keep high blood pressure in check, promoting healthy vascular function even during obesity. Building on clinical ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cell Biology, researchers report that adaptive brown adipose tissue growth is regulated by the exchange protein directly activated by cyclic adenosine ...

Researchers have converted white fat to brown fat, known for its ability to relax blood vessels, in mice to reduce high blood pressure. They say their findings pave the way for targeted treatments for ...

Heat production in fat tissue, a trait also known as adipose tissue thermogenesis, evolved over two stages in mammals, fully developing in eutherian mammals after the group’s evolutionary divergence ...

Physician-scientist and acclaimed adipose tissue biologist to advise on first-in-class, oral MS 001 for obesity.

Adipose tissue of a mouse with white and beige fat cells. The smaller cells with several droplets inside are beige fat cells (microscopic image). Fat cells come in three colours: white, brown, and ...
