Abstract excerpt
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is essential for neonatal thermogenesis and early-life metabolic adaptation. In goat neonates, BAT is primarily concentrated in the perirenal region and rapidly regresses during the first month after birth, yet the cellular and molecular programs driving this transition remain poorly defined. In the present study, a comprehensive single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas of perirenal adipose...
