In the ongoing effort to find better ways to fight cancer, scientists have developed a creative approach that uses the body’s ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that recalling cold experiences can activate thermoregulation and metabolism in mice, ...

In a study published in Nature, neuroscientists at Trinity College Dublin and Princeton University revealed that the brain ...

Some scientists have suggested that fat-storing (adipose) cells play a central role in the development of inverse psoriasis. These are known to release inflammatory proteins called cytokines that may ...

Consumption of a diet high in fat during the critical developmental period may alter the structure and expression of inflammatory genes in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT). Aim: To investigate the ...

The brain remembers ‘cold experiences’ through physical and chemical changes – called engrams – that then tell the body to make more heat.

Furthermore, only cold memory, not general memories or memories of a feared stimulus, increased the expression of genes involved in thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, suggesting that cold ...

The study is published in the journal Nature. The discovery may have ... seems to be due to increased activity of brown adipose tissue—or brown fat—which can be controlled by innervations ...

New multidisciplinary research led by Prof. Tomás Ryan from Trinity College Dublin shows that the brain forms memories of cold experiences and uses them to control our metabolism. This newly published ...
