Embryonic macrophages in brown adipose tissue are spatially associated with developing nerves
2025-01-20
Abstract excerpt
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized adipose tissue that produces heat through sympathetic nerve-dependent thermogenesis and influences glucose and triglyceride metabolism, making it a potential target for obesity-related diseases. In mice, interscapular BAT (iBAT) emerges on embryonic days (E)14.5-15.5, with extensive vessel and nerve networks still maturing postnatally. These developmental stages are crit...
