How cells generate heat by burning calories

“People who train their brown fat through regular cold exposure are thinner and less prone to developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases”

18-Sep-2024 - Special fat cells known as brown adipocytes help maintaining body temperature by converting calory-rich nutrients into heat. This protects from gaining excess weight and metabolic disorders. An international team of researchers led by Professor Alexander Bartelt from the Institute for ...

Beige fat cells with a “Sisyphus mechanism”

A new class of fat cells makes people healthier: The cells consume energy and produce heat through seemingly pointless biochemical reactions.

16-Aug-2024 - Fat cells come in three colours: white, brown, and beige. White fat cells store fat in our body as an energy reserve. We need these cells, but having too many creates health problems. Brown fat cells are particularly active in infants. They produce heat and thus maintain the baby’s body ...

A Delivery Service for Insulin

It's an old dream in pharmacy: to deliver an active ingredient to the exact place in the body where it is most needed

12-Jul-2024 - Up to three percent of people with diabetes have an allergic reaction to insulin. A team at Forschungszentrum Jülich has now studied a method that could be used to deliver the active substance into the body in a masked form - in the form of tiny nanoparticles. The insulin is only released in the ...
