The theft probably helps the cells to spread around the body, and preventing it could provide a path to treatment, ...

The researchers found that to carry out their function, the nerve cells found in fat tissue rely on a well-known sensor called Piezo2, which is capable of monitoring mechanical changes. In the next ...

A popular weight-loss drug may be changing how doctors treat obesity—but scientists are just starting to uncover exactly how it works inside the brain. A group of researchers from the University ...

By focusing only on the nerve cells that reduce appetite and burn fat, future medications could provide weight loss benefits without the drawbacks of nausea or muscle loss.

This medication binds to the same nerve cell targets but with greater binding affinity, often allowing for more effective pain control at lower doses. Pregabalin has received approval specifically ...
