Studies in rodents have shown that activation of BAT has healthy metabolic consequences in regard to obesity and type 2 diabetes
How to expand BAT in Humans ?
The Beneficial Effects of Brown Fat Transplantation
Strategies for expanding BAT:- Genetic intervention to trigger BAT/Beige differentiation: Gene therapy difficult to apply in clinic
- Stimulate differentiation pathways to drive a white to brown adipocyte transition, to activate mitochondria function, using drugs, nutrients,..
- Three labs have reported that adult BAT transplantation in mice could reverse metabolic disorders:•Gunawardana et al.: Insulin-independent reversal of type 1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice with BAT transplant. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2014• Stanford et al. : BAT regulates glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. J Clin. Inves. 2013• Liu et al.: BAT transplantation improves whole-body energy metabolism. Cell res. 2013• Liu et al.: BAT transplantation reverses obesity in Ob/Ob mice. Endocrinology 2015
BAT Transplantation is an alternative approach. Autologous BAT transplantation in Humans requires an unlimited source of brown adipocytes: human iPS cells.

Conclusions
There is a great potential for brown adipocyte progenitors derived from hiPSCs to correct the energy imbalance in obese/diabetics patients via autologous transplantation.
There are still many challenges to overcome prior to clinical applications
These include to investigate the safety of hiPSC-BAPs, the need of an effective transplantation method, immunogenicity…
Generation of iPSC and derivation of BAPs are time consuming, require several steps difficult to apply in clinic.
hiPSCs is an abundant and unlimited source for brown adipocytes that open up a new avenue to treat obesity and metabolic disorders.
