Enhancing autophagy—the cellular process that breaks down and removes unneeded components—in fat tissue could help treat diabetes, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Cell Reports.

Fat cells secrete the hormone adiponectin, which regulates glucose metabolism through actions on peripheral tissues. It is now apparent that adiponectin also acts on the brain to reduce body weight ...

In new results published in Diabetes, researchers at the University of Bristol have uncovered a mechanism by which a hormone can protect the blood vessels in the kidneys from the damage caused by ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to differentiate into a range of different cell types, including bone, fat, and muscle cells. But it's their ability to stimulate the repair of damaged ...
