Adipose tissue is composed of a variety of cells distributed in different depots and playing various metabolic roles. In a recent issue of Nature, Sun et al. (2020) use snRNA-seq and functional studies to identify a population of adipocytes that can suppress the thermogenic activity of neighboring adipocytes by secretion of acetate.
脂肪组织由分布在不同部位的多种细胞组成,发挥着各种代谢作用。在最近的一期《自然》杂志上,Sun 等人(2020 年)利用 snRNA-seq 和功能研究鉴定出一种脂肪细胞群体,它可以通过分泌乙酸来抑制邻近脂肪细胞的产热活性。
