Triggering self-combustion in fat cells for weight loss
Ordinary fat cells in obese animals can be induced to burn energy stores, generating substantial heat, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. In the study, published in Nature Metabolism, the researchers showed that in fat cells called white adipocytes, high levels of fatty acids from fat stores, in the presence of a key enzyme called AAC, can trigger a process that uses fat to produce heat and increase energy expenditure. They demonstrated that this process c…

New group of potential diabetes drugs with fewer side effects can reprogram insulin-resistant cells to be healthier
Using a blend of computer modeling, structural and cell-based studies, scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute have designed a group of potential diabetes drugs that reprogram insulin-resistant cells into a healthier state while limiting side effect risks of older medications.
