🥩🧪 Major breakthrough in #lab-grown beef! @ethz.ch researchers led by Prof. Ori Bar-Nur cracked the code for producing thick, 3D muscle fibers in cow. Shoutout to former/current FGCZers @adhideb.bsky.social + @blauenkaiser.bsky.social for their contributions & congrats! 🔗 tinyurl.com/d84s9spv

On track to produce better lab-grown burgers

The cultivation of thick muscle fibres from bovine cells in the lab has long been a challenge for scientists. Researchers from ETH Zurich have now successfully tackled this issue – with the goal of on...

A new atlas of cells in fat tissue could help to explain why some overweight people stay healthy, while others do not. ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Forschende erstellten einen detaillierten Atlas über Veränderungen in Zellen von übergewichtigen Menschen. Er könnte ausserdem Unterschiede bei der Entstehung von Stoffwechselerkrankungen zwischen Männern und Frauen erklären. ethz.ch/de/news-und-...

Übergewichtig und gesund

Körpergewicht und Body-Mass-Index alleine sagen zu wenig darüber aus, ob jemand an Stoffwechselstörungen erkranken wird. Ein neuer Atlas über Zellen im Fettgewebe könnte nun helfen zu entschlüsseln, w...

🧬 New in @Nature: Our team found that fat cells keep a “memory” of their previous obese state even after weight loss, helping explain why maintaining weight loss is so challenging. Excited to share this work!! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss - Nature

Stable epigenetic changes indicate the existence of an obesogenic memory in mouse adipocytes that primes cells for pathological responses in an obesogenic environment and potentially contributes to th...

Fat tissue retains a ‘memory’ of obesity through cellular transcriptional and epigenetic changes that persist after weight loss, which might increase the chance of regaining weight, according to a study in Nature. go.nature.com/48ZTVfg
