ANN ARBOR, Michigan, June 13 -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
Researchers have discovered a new set of signals that cells send and receive to prompt one type of fat cell to convert fat into heat. The signaling pathway, discovered in mice, has potential implications for activating this same type of thermogenic fat in humans.
Thermogenic fat cells, also called beige fat or beige adipocytes, have gained attention in recent years for their po . . .
