Quick answer
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.
