Annotation rationales
Adipose stem and progenitor cells are mesenchymal stromal cells with the capacity to self-renew and enter adipogenic or fibro-inflammatory differentiation programs.
Functional implications
They replenish adipocytes, maintain extracellular matrix and vascular niches, and regulate tissue expansion and repair in response to nutritional or inflammatory cues.
