One cancer of this tissue can be caused by a fusion of the CHOP gene with either the FUS or EWS gene, while other cancers of this tissue are present in Madelung disease and Dercum disease.
One cancer of this tissue can be caused by a fusion of the CHOP gene with either the FUS or EWS gene, while other cancers of this tissue are present in Madelung disease and Dercum disease. A class of cytokines named for and secreted by cells in this tissue includes apelin, resistin, and TNF-alpha. Stem cells derived from this tissue include PLA cells as well as the stromal vascular fraction. One hormone released by cells in this tissue inhibits neuropeptide Y and stimulates the production of alpha-MSH. Cells in this tissue contain an uncoupling protein which uses oxidative phosphorylation to generate heat without shivering. Thermogenin is expressed in cells in this tissue, which releases the ghrelin-opposed satiety hormone leptin, and comes in brown and white types. For 10 points, name this tissue which stores lipids.
