Differentiation trajectories of major adipocyte populations. Mesenchymal stem cells serve as shared early progenitors and contribute to adipocyte formation through unique lineages. The contribution of progenitor lineages varies depending on depot and adipocyte type. Some progenitors can give rise to multiple types of adipocytes depending on environmental signals and anatomical position.
