abstract：:In this issue of Science Signaling, Lu et al reveal a role for Parkin-mediated mitophagy in beige-to-white adipocyte transition. In the absence of Parkin, mitochondria in thermogenic beige adipocytes are preserved even after the elimination of cold mimetic stimuli-in contrast to their typical elimination during the wh...
