Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.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
Advanced ScienceM2 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.

Molecular MetabolismObjective: Defective activity of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is linked to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. While much is known regarding the biological signals that trigger BAT thermogenesis, relatively little is known about the repressors that may ...

Combating ageing beyond the cell: Emerging roles of extracellular proteostasis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Ageing challenges the body's ability to maintain a stable and functional proteome, leading to protein damage and aggregation both inside and outside cells. This review focuses on the less well understood mechanisms of extracellular protein quality control and how they become disrupted in ageing, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases.

Mechanism of Cold-induced Thermogenesis
, 2017 Cold-induced thermogenesis is an energy-demanding process that protects warm-blooded animals against reductions in ambient temperature. Villanueva and colleagues demonstrated that in response to cold, the liver switches metabolism to provide ...

Life‐stage variation in Sable Shearwater (Ardenna carneipes) physiology assessed using proteomics
Ibis, EarlyView.Life‐stage transitions in seabirds involve substantial shifts in physiological demands, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning these changes remain poorly resolved. Here we applied untargeted data‐independent acquisition mass spectrometry (DIA‐MS) to characterize and compare the plasma proteomes of fledgling and adult Sable Shearwaters Ardenna ...

α2 adrenergic receptor-mediated inhibition of thermogenesis
, 2013 2 adrenergic receptor ( 2-AR) agonists have been used as antihypertensive agents, in the management of drug withdrawal, and as sedative analgesics. Since 2-AR agonists also influence the regulation of body temperature, we explored their potential as ...

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aims To examine the association between branched‐chain α‐keto acids (BCKAs) and pancreatic steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted from January 2023 to March 2025. Upper abdominal computerized tomography was performed, pancreatic volume (PV), PV index (PVI), CT attenuation of pancreas

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...
