Brown fat and skeletal muscle: unlikely cousins?
Abstract
Although the functions of white fat and brown fat are increasingly well understood, their developmental origins remain unclear. A recent study published in Nature (Seale et al., 2008) identifies a population of progenitor cells that gives rise to brown fat and skeletal muscle but not white fat.
