New research from the University of Eastern Finland sheds light on the mechanisms associating obesity with inflammation by exploring tiny membrane particles, known as extracellular vesicles, secreted ...

This article explains how diet creates sustained epigenetic changes that affect long-term health, disease risk, aging, and ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a team of scientists examined how adipose tissue, specifically fat cells, retains transcriptional changes even after significant weight loss, potentially leading ...

This approach uses mesenchymal stem cells isolated from a patient’s own fat tissue to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The stem cells are supposed to assist in repair of damaged tissue and ...
