Abstract
How brown and beige adipocytes activate UCP1-dependent thermogenesis has been studied in great detail. In Cell Metabolism, Tharp et al. (2018) have recently added another interesting dimension to this by demonstrating that actinomyosin-mediated elasticity regulates the thermogenic capacity of UCP1+ adipocytes, opening up new ways by which UCP1-dependent thermogenesis can be stimulated.
