Not All Fat Is Bad: Why Your Body Needs Healthy Fat Cells To Prevent Diabetes
The researchers focused on a rare inherited condition called familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2). People with this condition gradually lose healthy fat from certain parts of the body but often develop diabetes, fatty liver disease, and high blood fat levels.

In Japan, Scientists Turn Body Fat Into Bone To Heal Spine: Study
Researchers in Osaka have found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair spinal fractures similar to those caused by osteoporosis.

Study Mapping Fat Cells May Lead To Personalised Obesity Medicine
A new international study has for the first time identified unique subpopulations of fat cells.

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

Researchers Find Way To Make Wounds Heal Without Scars
By transforming the most common type of cells found in wounds into fat cells, researchers have reported finding a way to manipulate wounds to heal as regenerated skin rather than scar tissue.

Training Body To Burn Fat, Not Store It
Researchers have uncovered a new molecular mechanism for stimulating the body to burn fat -- a discovery that could lead to new medications to fight obesity, diabetes and heart diseases.

Obesity gene identified
Scientists have identified what they claim is the "master switch" gene which causes obesity, a breakthrough which could help treat fat-related diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.A team led by Tim Spector of King's College London, which has made the discovery, claims that the DNA controls other genes found in the body's fat cells.In fact, p...

Exercise shrinks abdominal fat cells
Exercise is especially helpful in reducing the size of fat cells around the waistline - more so than diet alone.

Fat cells related to hypertension
Fat cells produce factors that directly stimulate the adrenal gland to release the hormone aldosterone. Because aldosterone regulates blood pressure, these factors may at least partly explain the link between obesity and high blood pressure.
