Abstract
Orbital fat is an adipose tissue located behind orbital septum and originates from mesoderm and neural crest in ectoderm. It has been found that the histologic structure of orbital fat is different from subcutaneous and visceral fat. In addition, the regeneration and anti-inflammatory ability of stem cells derived from orbital fat have attracted much attention in recent years. This paper reviews the recent research progress on orbital fat, including its structure, origin, histological characteristics, and related stem cells.
