BMAT is a metabolically active, distinct tissue that differs from other fat depots. Marrow adipocytes, closely interacting with hematopoietic stem\/progenitor cells and osteoblasts, play a pivotal role in regulating their functions. However, standardized methods for isolating and defining human BMAT (hBMAT) remain unclear. In animal models, BMAT is commonly isolated directly from the bone marrow through flushing, enzymatic digestion, or mechanical disruption. In humans, BMAT isolation often involves the adipogenic induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem\/stromal cells (BM\u2010MSCs) derived from bone marrow aspirates. However, this approach reflects cellular responses to chemical stimuli and may not accurately represent in vivo differentiation potential. Similarly, BMAT obtained from hip or knee replacement surgeries might not reflect basal physiological conditions due to inflammatory influences. Here, we describe a direct method for culturing BMAT from the fatty layer of bone marrow aspirates obtained from healthy transplant donors. This protocol employs centrifugation and washing steps using basic laboratory equipment, offering simple and non\u2010enzymatic approach. For validation, isolated cells are characterized according to the International Society for Cell &amp; Gene Therapy (ISCT) criteria. \u00a9 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.<\/jats:p>\n
