Detailed explanation-1: -Marrow adipose tissue (MAT) is a unique fat depot in the bone marrow and exhibits close relationship with hematopoiesis and bone homeostasis. MAT is distinct from peripheral adipose tissue in respect of its heterogeneous origin, site-specific distribution, and complex and perplexing function.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bone marrow fat (BMF) is located in the bone marrow cavity and accounts for 70% of adult bone marrow volume. It also accounts for approximately 10% of total fat in healthy adults above the age of 25 years (1, 2).
Detailed explanation-3: -Bone marrow contains two types of stem cells: mesenchymal and hematopoietic. Red bone marrow consists of a delicate, highly vascular fibrous tissue containing hematopoietic stem cells. These are blood-forming stem cells. Yellow bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, or marrow stromal cells.
