Stem cells derived from fat have a surprising trick up their sleeves: Encouraged to develop on a stiff surface, they undergo a remarkable transformation toward becoming mature muscle cells. The new cells remain intact and fused together even when transferred to an extremely stiff, bone-like surface, which has bioengineers intrigued. These cells, they suggest, could hint at new therapeutic ...

Diet Rich Coconut Oil Could Stop Type 2 DiabetesA diet rich in coconut oil could ward off Type 2 diabetes . ………… The oil, used in foods such as margarine , helps prevent insulin resistance . This is where muscle and fat cells stop reacting to insulin , the hormone that helps to mop up excess sugar in the blood. Australian scientists used mice to compare the effects of coconut oil-rich foods with a lard -based diet, consumed by many in the developed world. The results showed
