flag Researchers discover how aging stem cells increase belly fat, potentially leading to new treatments.

flag Researchers from City of Hope have identified why waistlines expand with age, linking it to a new type of adult stem cell that enhances fat cell production, especially around the belly. flag The study found that aging transforms adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) into active fat producers, known as committed preadipocytes (CP-As), which multiply due to a signaling pathway called LIFR. flag This discovery could lead to new medical approaches to reduce belly fat and improve health in older adults.
