adipogenesis
This term is a highly specialized technical word used almost exclusively in biochemistry, endocrinology, and medical research. It describes a specific cellular transformation rather than a general increase in body fat, which would be described as weight gain or obesity. Because it refers to a biological process, it is used in formal academic writing and clinical reports.
As a mass noun representing a biological process, it is treated as uncountable. It does not have a plural form in standard scientific usage, as the process itself is a singular conceptual phenomenon regardless of how many cells are undergoing the change.
