Glossary Dermal White Adipose Tissue

layer of fat in the skin's dermis aiding hair growth

Dermal White Adipose Tissue (DWAT) is a layer of fat located within the skin, specifically in the dermis. It plays a crucial role in skin homeostasis, providing insulation, energy storage, and contributing to the skin's structural integrity. DWAT is also involved in hair follicle cycling and wound healing, making it an important area of study for both dermatology and metabolic research.
