Bone marrow is one of the largest organs in the human body, enclosing adipocytes,
hematopoietic stem cells, which are responsible for blood cell production, and mesenchymal …

Neuromuscular diseases are characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and
muscle weakness resulting in functional disabilities. While each of these diseases is …

In recent years, we've developed a much better grasp of the biological and other factors
associated with the development of obesity. Reflecting our evolving understanding of …

Metabolism is a fundamental process of life. However, non-invasive measurement of local
tissue metabolism is limited today by a deficiency in adequate tools for in vivo observations …

Purpose To compare lumbar muscle fat-signal fractions derived from three-dimensional dual
