Bistable regulation of adipocyte heterogeneity governs thermogenesis
IL-1β from neutrophils and macrophages stabilizes nearby brown adipocytes in a low-UCP1 state; cold temperature reduces IL-1β via sympathetic nerves, leading to transition to a high-UCP1 state and increased thermogenesis, while higher temperatures have the opposite effect.
