| | Article: The Nervous System and Adipose Tissue |
 | | Liposuction is an increasingly popular form of therapy for the removal of unwanted adipose tissue. | | | For example, pain is a feature of many disorders of fat tissue and the possible role of the autonomic nervous system versus sensory nerves in mediating pain must be considered. | | | Much of the information on developing adipose tissue has come from the studies of fetal animals decapitated in utero at an early stage of a pregnancy that are then allowed to continue. |

| | This thermogenic process may be vital in neonates exposed to the cold, who then require this thermogenesis to keep warm as they are unable to shiver, or take other actions to keep themselves warm. | | | A panniculus complicates surgery of the morbidly obese, and may remain as a literal "apron of skin" if a severely obese person quickly loses large amounts of weight (a common result of bypass surgery). | | | Attempts to stimulate this process pharmacologically have so far been unsuccessful, but might in the future be a target of weight loss therapy. |

| | Adult stem cells from adipose tissue could save lives |
| | The work to be presented reflects a growing number of researchers who believe that adipose tissue (fat) will be a practical and appealing source of stem cells for regenerative therapies of the future. | | | They will present their research findings at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia, September 10-13, during the third annual International Fat Applied Technology Society conference, The Role of Adipose Tissue in Regenerative Medicine: Opportunities for Clinical Therapy. | | | Findings suggest that adipose-derived stem cells can be used to repair or regenerate new blood vessels, cardiac muscle, nerves, bones and other tissue, potentially helping heart attack victims, patients with brain and spinal cord injuries and people with osteoporosis. |
