Obesity and osteoporosis are two of the most common chronic disorders of the 21st century. Both are accompanied by significant morbidity. The only place in the mammalian organism where bone and fat lie adjacent to each other is in the bone marrow. Marrow adipose tissue is a dynamic depot that likely exists as both constitutive and regulated compartments. Adipocytes secrete cytokines and adipokines that either stimulate or inhibit adjacent osteoblasts. The relationship of marrow adipose to other fat depots is complex and may play very distinct roles in modulating metabolic homeostasis, hematopoiesis and osteogenesis. Understanding the relationship between bone and fat cells that arise from the same progenitor within the ‘niche’ provides insight into the pathophysiology of age-related osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus and obesity.
