MTCH2 Suppresses Thermogenesis by Regulating Autophagy in Adipose Tissue
Stimulating adipose tissue thermogenesis has emerged as a promising strategy for combating obesity, with uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) playing a central role in this process.

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes
Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

Fast & fuelious: the malate–aspartate shuttle in brown adipocyte lipid metabolism
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold exposure, for which it relies on the coordination of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. However, how reaction intermediates connect these two essential pathways is unclear. In this issue of The FEBS Journal, Veliova et al., report that the malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS) supports norepinephrine‐

The emerging role of the Hippo signaling pathway in interorgan crosstalk
Hippo signaling functions as a central hub of interorgan communication. Systemic cues from the gut, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle—including hormones, metabolites, and microbial signals—regulate YAP/TAZ activity in a tissue‐ and context‐dependent manner.

Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice
Obesity is associated with reduced energy expenditure and increased hepatic lipid accumulation. This study reveals that loss of NIK in adipocytes stimulates FGF21‐driven expression of thermogenic genes, including UCP1, and mitochondrial uncoupled respiration.

Thermogenic Adipocytes Promote M2 Macrophage Polarization through CNNM4‐Mediated Mg Secretion
M2 macrophages promote adipose tissue thermogenesis which dissipates energy in the form of heat to combat obesity. However, the regulation of M2 macrophages by thermogenic adipocytes is unclear.

Brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle coordinately contribute to thermogenesis in mice
Endotherms increase the rate of metabolism in metabolic organs as one strategy to cope with a decline in the temperature of the external environment. However, an additional major contributor to maintenance of body temperature in a cold environment is ...
