title: Transcriptional control of brown fat development.
abstract: Deconvoluting the natural pathway of BAT development has defined key molecular events, which enables researchers to manipulate the amount or activity of brown fat. We review recent advances on the transcriptional regulation of BAT development and discuss the emerging questions.
