...Melinda E. Fernyhough; Gary J. Hausman; Michael V. Dodson Background: Progeny adipofibroblast cells, derived from mature bovine adipocytes, were used to determine their ability to redifferentiate into lipid-assimilating adipocytes. Methods: Traditional cell biology methods were used, including...

.... Adipofibroblast Cell division Obesity Plasticity On several occasions, we have described the ability of lipid-containing adipocytes, obtained from the subcutaneous fat depot in beef cattle, to proliferate in vitro [Dodson et al., 2005; Fernyhough et al., 2005a, 2005b, 2005c]. We have termed...
