title: Proliferative activity of adipocytes in adipose tissue tumors.
abstract: Electron-autoradiographic study of normal and tumor-transformed adipose tissue (common lipoma and destructive lipoma, i.e. infiltrating and degrading lipoma) showed the capacity of adipose tissue cells in lipomas, especially in destructive lipomas, to proliferation and differentiation. In vivo synthesis of DNA in mature adipocytes not observed previously is described. The role of microvascular wall cells as mesenchymal multipotent precursors in the formation of the adipose tissue is discussed. The involvement of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell in this process cannot be ruled out.
