    immature cells that can develop into fat-storing adipocytes

    Adipocyte Precursor Cells, also known as preadipocytes, are immature cells that have the potential to develop into adipocytes, which are the cells responsible for storing fat in the body. These precursor cells play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of adipose tissue, and their differentiation is influenced by various hormonal and environmental factors. Understanding these cells is important for research into obesity, metabolic disorders, and tissue regeneration.
