摘要

The cellular origins and molecular determinants of brown adipose tissue (BAT) are the focus of renewed attention. Serendipitous studies examining hematopoiesis in human pluripotent stem cell cultures (Nishio et al., 2012, in this issue of Cell Metabolism) now identify cytokines capable of inducing BAT differentiation from these human stem cells and suggest a link between BAT and blood cells.
