Abstract: Adipocyte drives from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC). During the course of differentiation, it covers MSC, adipoblast, preadipocyte, immature adipose cell, adipocyte. Each stage has specific expression of its specific differentiational genes. Recently many new important genes about control expression of specific differentiational genes have been discovered. This paper is aimed to review the advance research of these aspects.
