Also known as: body fat, fat tissue, 지방조직

What is adipose tissue?
Adipose tissue is body fat: a connective tissue made mostly of fat cells (adipocytes) with blood vessels, immune cells and stromal cells. It stores energy and produces hormones. Because it is abundant and can be removed by liposuction, it is a common source of cells for research and for procedures such as fat grafting and SVF isolation.
Key facts
Overview
Adipose tissue stores energy and produces hormones. Because it is abundant and can be harvested by liposuction, it is a common source of cells for research and for autologous procedures such as fat grafting and stromal vascular fraction isolation.
