A new tissue expansion method enables scientists to use mass spectrometry imaging to simultaneously detect hundreds of molecules at the single cell level in their native locations.

Fat grafting (or fat transfer) relies on live fat cells that have been harvested (via liposuction) from one part of the body ...

“It is no use asking for the impossible, such as, say, the exact wiring diagram for a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and the way all its neurons are firing,” Crick wrote in Scientific America ...

A new tool, called Morpheus8, uses tiny needles and radio frequencies to stimulate collagen and remodel tissue, allowing dermatologists more control over the shape of skin. The tool has become a ...

The skin exerts its barrier function through a multilayered structure comprised of three distinct anatomical ... The subcutis is rich in adipose tissue and contains immune cells that interact with ...

Adipose tissue comes in three colors: white, brown and beige. While white fat specializes in storing lipid and expands during obesity, brown fat is thermogenic, turning energy into heat. Beige fat is ...

Tremendous progress has been made over the past few decades to develop skin substitutes for the management of acute and chronic wounds. With the advent of tissue engineering and the ability to combine ...

This was accompanied by histological and gene expression analysis of adipose tissue and liver to assess adipose tissue inflammation and hepatosteatosis. Moreover, acute hypothalamic response to ...

Insulin resistance of adipose tissue is an important feature of obesity-related metabolic disease. However, assessment of lipolysis in humans requires labor-intensive and expensive methods ...

A number of experimental studies with genetic loss-of-function manipulations indicate that ablation of adiponectin contributes to diet-induced insulin resistance, increased vascular remodeling in ...
