A member asked:
If omentum can be used to regenerate other tissues, then when omentum itself is partially resected, can the remaining omentum regenerate itself? if not, what is the long term effect on host immune system when omentum is surgically resected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fats not all bad: The omentum's immune functions come from groups of small, white filters located among the fat cells. Recent research has shown that they aid the omentum by collecting information about the health of the abdominal cavity. Omental transposition promotes expansion of pancreatic islets, hepatocytes, embryonic kidney, and neurons.
