Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have discovered a key ...

Previous research has also noted a loss of identity of fat cells in obese mice. This "cellular identity crisis" may be what ...

Fat cell “memory” could help explain why weight loss can be difficult to maintain, according to new research. In experiments ...

Obesity leads to DNA alterations that affect gene activity and linger after weight loss, a finding that researchers say could ...

"We’ve found a molecular basis for the yo-yo effect," said Ferdinand von Meyenn, professor of nutrition and metabolic ...

Long-lasting changes to the cells’ epigenome are linked to a decline in their function. Even after drastic weight loss, the ...

Research suggests a fat cell's "memory" of past obesity changes how it responds to food, and that may explain why keeping weight off is so difficult.

Obesity creates lasting epigenetic changes in fat cells, making weight regain easier. Early prevention is key, as these changes can't currently be reversed. Anyone who has ever tried to shed a few ...

This work can explain why many people who lose weight may fail to maintain that loss over long periods of time... | Genetics ...

A new study published in the journal Nature revealed that fat cells have memory which significantly contributes to obesity.

Epigenetic changes from obesity persist after weight loss, altering fat cell function and increasing the risk of weight ...

In the new study, scientists found that cells from human and mouse fat tissue show gene activity changes that are retained ...
