For the 300,000 Americans living with the immune disease scleroderma, better treatments can't come soon enough. The rare and ...

This is a well-written study that presents a solid genetic screen to identify regulators of adipose morphology and remodeling in zebrafish. The authors generated a rigorous screening platform based on ...

A teddy bear left at a California gas station that was reported to authorities as being covered in human remains was a latex ...

A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

Background:In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), adipose tissue expansion (because of larger adipocytes) results in reduced microvascular density which is thought to lead to adipocyte hypoxia ...

“Our tissues started to act more like real heart tissue.” The shape changes did more than just make the tissues look like real hearts.

Visceral fat—also called abdominal or belly fat—is necessary to help cushion your organs. But when there’s too much of it, it can increase your risk for metabolic syndrome, a condition that increases ...

Though burning fat and building muscle concurrently may be possible, it's not necessarily optimal, says Lee Boyce, C.S.C.S., an MH Advisory Board member. He warns that aiming for both at the same time ...

Now, MIT engineers have taken a major step toward developing robots that replace rigid gears with something much softer – almost like real, living muscle tissue. In ...

Abdominal adipose tissue was harvested by liposuction in all patients. The active treatment group was treated with an intra-articular injection of autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue, and the ...

Tissue sample type matters when measuring a person's biological age, researchers report by Aaron Wagner, Pennsylvania State University Editors' notes ...
