Characterization of human fibrocytes as circulating adipocyte progenitors and the formation of human adipose tissue in SCID mice
27 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
An increase in fat mass associated with obesity results from recruitment and differentiation of adipocyte progenitor cells. The precise origin of these cells is unknown, although accumulating evidence suggests that circulating stem cells can differentiate into cells of mesenchymal lineage. It is currently unclear whether a progenitor adipocyte population exists in circulation. One potential candidate is the...
