title: Enhanced thermogenesis in the blinc of an eye.
abstract: Increasing the thermogenic capacity of adipose tissue has been proposed as a strategy for combating obesity and its associated metabolic disorders. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Zhao et al. (2014) identify the long noncoding RNA Blnc1 as a driver of thermogenesis in brown and beige adipocytes.
