A new study offers the "first clear example" of a cross-body neuronal circuit that translates brain information into an obesity-related immune function.

Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, ...

Obesity can lead to a chronic inflammatory state within the body. What drives this inflammation? Does inflammation, in turn, promote obesity? And what are the potential therapeutic implications?

Conclusions: NPC1 is highly expressed in human WAT adipocytes with increased levels in obese. These results suggest that NPC1 may play a role in adipocyte processes underlying obesity.

Researchers unveil Fas-p53 axis as a key regulator in adipocyte metabolism, linking it to obesity and insulin sensitivity through energy expenditure and inflammation pathways.

The present study showed that in obesity, adipose tissue inflammation increases the secretion of extracellular vesicles from human adipocytes.

Scientists have spotted unique subtypes of fat cells in the human body, and by unraveling their functions, they found that the cells may play a role in obesity.

Clinical Implications of Basic Research Resistin, Obesity, and Insulin Resistance — The Emerging Role of the Adipocyte as an Endocrine Organ ...

A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

In obesity, fat cells, or adipocytes, expand and can reach a limit that ultimately causes cell death and leads to inflammation.
