On the basis of microscopic anatomy and cell ... Vernochet C, et al. Anatomical localization, gene expression profiling and functional characterization of adult human neck brown fat. Nat Med 2013 ...

The regulation of whole-body fat stores illustrates the complex nature of adipose tissue integrative physiology. Glycogen stores are small in relation to energy throughput, and adipose tissue ...

They took biopsies of fat tissue from each participant every six hours, to carry out transcriptomic analysis. The results identified 727 genes in fat tissue that expressed their own circadian ...

Yes, fat cells have their precursors, such as adipogenic stem cells, but these tend to hide in the stromal vascular fraction, a shadowy region where cells of different types are hard to distinguish.
