Exploring Morphological and Molecular Properties of Different Adipose Cell Models: Monolayer, Spheroids, Gellan Gum-Based Hydrogels, and Explants.

White adipose tissue (WAT) plays a crucial role in energy homeostasis and secretes numerous adipokines with far-reaching effects. WAT is linked to diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. There is a high demand for suitable in vitro models to study diseases and tissue metabolism.
