Human Adipose Resource

The IDOM Human Adipose Resource's aim is to provide consultation and services to Penn community investigators in the use of experimental systems derived from human adipose tissue. We currently provide human preadipocytes and adipocytes for in vitro experiments, en bloc adipose tissue recovered at surgery for analysis of protein expression, RNA, immunohistochemistry, and other uses.
