Abstract
Adipocytes are generally thought to be terminally differentiated cells; however, recent evidence suggests a subset may have greater plasticity in certain contexts. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Wang et al. (2018) demonstrate a novel capacity for mammary adipocytes to dedifferentiate into preadipocyte-like precursors during lactation and redifferentiate upon weaning.Entities:
