A Cell-Autonomous Cold Sensor Promotes Lipolysis Through Phase Separation

Temperature is a fundamental determinant of mammalian metabolism. The canonical cold-adaptation pathway involves cold sensing by peripheral sensory neurons, which activate sympathetic outflow, {beta}-adrenergic signaling, and lipolysis in adipose tissue. In contrast, we report here a cell-intrinsic mechanism by which physiologically relevant cooling temperatures (27-31 oC) enhance lipolysis in…
