This study identifies exosome trafficking as a key regulator of beige adipocyte thermogenesis, showing that exosome release enhances thermogenic output and energy expenditure.

This study shows that miR-27a and miR-27b regulate adipose thermogenesis and metabolism, with their combined loss enhancing thermogenic activity and metabolic health.

This study shows that TGFβ/Smad signaling controls interstitial cell proliferation in the neonatal kidney by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling to prevent over-proliferation.
