Abstract (original English)

Brown adipocytes are found in several fat depots, however, the origins and contributions of different lineages of adipogenic progenitor cells (APCs) to these depots are unclear. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Shi et al. show that platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ)-lineage and T-box transcription factor 18 (TBX18)-lineage APCs differentially contribute to brown adipogenesis across these depots.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.

Evidence level
