New Molecular Mechanism in Fat Cells Reshapes Understanding of Obesity

Our cellular metabolism division is examining a newly discovered regulatory mechanism involving hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), a protein historically known only for breaking down fat. New evidence shows HSL also functions within the nucleus of fat cells, helping regulate adipocyte development and stability. When HSL function is impaired, fat tissue can shrink abnormally, leading to metabolic […]

Gut Microbiome Found to Mediate Diet’s Impact on Metabolic Risk

A new study from our metabolism and nutrition research team has revealed that the gut microbiome may act as a key biological bridge between diet quality and metabolic disease risk. By analyzing hundreds of adults across a wide metabolic spectrum, researchers identified microbial signatures that influence how nutrients are processed, stored, and converted into energy. […]
