By cells growing - do you mean it stops globules of fat from acreting? Fat comes in molecules rather than cells, so globules of fat acrete rather than grow. If so, then it basically has the same effect as paint thinner does to paint?

No.
Resveratrol downregulates the secretion and gene expression of adipokines (IL6, IL8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1) and thereby decreases fat storage.

To summarize, fat cells do not take in the fat molecules and don’t grow independantly from carbohydrates. The fat molecules are used for something else (energy) or removed from your body (poop).
The take away is reservtol makes it much harder to GET FAT.
The human body has fat cells which grow, multiply or shrink. The fat in your body is mostly made up of fat cells, and it is metabolically active.
