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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 ...

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

Researchers from Switzerland found fat cells in the body have a 'memory,' one that tells them to keep growing, even after losing weight. The team used fat cells from people with obesity and ...

Even after drastic weight loss, the body’s fat cells carry the ‘memory’ of obesity, research 1 shows — a finding that might help to explain why it can be hard to stay trim after a weight ...
