Human Metabolically Active Brown Adipose Derived Stem Cells

摘要

A method of distinguishing a brown adipose cell from a white adipose cell. In one embodiment the method includes measuring the expression level of one or more genes in an adipose cell; comparing the measured expression levels to a control, and correlating the expression level of the one or more genes to an identity as a white adipose cell or a brown adipose cell. In one embodiment the one or more genes are selected from the genes listed in FIG. 4C. In another aspect the invention relates to a method of differentiating an adipose stem cell. In one embodiment the method includes inducing differentiation of an adipose stem cell in vitro; and distinguishing the differentiated stem cell. In another embodiment the inducing is performed by contacting the adipose stem cell with a brown adipose cell differentiation media.
