In mammalian physiology, adipose tissue has many important roles, including in energy storage, metabolism, lactation and non-shivering thermogenesis. Distinct types and depots of this dynamic ...

How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

As the body ages, brown adipose tissue activity decreases, fewer calories are burned, and this can contribute to obesity and ...

Two complementary research articles reveal that central and peripheral circadian clocks coordinate to regulate the daily activity of skin and muscles. The coordination between the two clocks (central ...

Key drivers of this growth include the rising incidence of degenerative bone diseases, diabetic ulcers, traumatic injuries, sports-related ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic tissue that repairs injuries and restores normal erectile function in a pig model, in a study publishing January 4 in the journal Matter. The findings suggest ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...

Researchers have found that decay of tissues after death can be halted and cell functions restored based on early experiments in pigs that may eventually help increase the number of transplantable ...

Muscle-derived branched-chain amino acids support thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, thereby helping maintain body temperature during impaired muscle function or physiological stress.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...
