FettHämatopoeseVerhältnis

FettHämatopoes, a term derived from German, literally translates to "fat hematopoiesis." It refers to the process of blood cell formation occurring within adipose tissue, or fat. Traditionally, hematopoiesis, the creation of all blood cell types, was understood to primarily take place in the bone marrow. However, research has increasingly revealed that adipose tissue, far from being inert storage, possesses a dynamic environment capable of supporting and influencing blood cell development.

This phenomenon is not a replacement for bone marrow hematopoiesis but rather a supplementary or localized form. Studies suggest that certain types of stem cells residing within fat depots can differentiate into various blood cell lineages, including myeloid and lymphoid cells. The microenvironment of adipose tissue, with its specific cellular components and secreted factors, plays a crucial role in regulating this process. Understanding FettHämatopoes is important for comprehending immune responses, tissue regeneration, and the development of certain hematological conditions. Further investigation into the precise mechanisms and functional significance of FettHämatopoes is ongoing, with potential implications for therapeutic strategies.
