Abstract
How adipocyte precursor cells are regulated to control depot-specific adipose tissue expansion in obesity remains unclear. Here, Shao et al. identify a HIFα-dependent regulatory mechanism controlling adipocyte progenitor activity in mice and demonstrate the ability of the anti-cancer drug Imatinib to promote metabolically beneficial adipogenesis in obesity.
