Brown adipocytes are increasingly recognized as a promising therapeutic target for metabolic disorders. Research published in Advanced Science now presents evidence that these cells might also be useful for leukaemia therapy. The study demonstrates that activation of brown adipocytes deprives leukaemia cells of glucose, which reveals a potential new avenue for leukaemia treatment.
