Scientists have long been exploring ways to kill cancer cells by starving them of the nutrients they need to survive. A new study suggests that genetically modified fat cells could help researchers ...

Accumulation of fat molecules is detrimental to the cell ... helps transport fats out of cell compartments known as lysosomes. Led by Associate Professor Nguyen Nam Long, from the Department ...

Conversely, when fat reserves diminish ... "molecular components of these membrane structures travel to other cell compartments, conveying signals that adjust metabolic activity to match the ...

Among the lesser-spotlighted roles of the immune system is how a particular T cell helps maintain homeostasis—fostering a balanced and stable metabolic environment—in fat cells. It's a role ...
