Beiging and thermogenesis in white adipose tissue (WAT) is an important adaptive response to cold exposure, but how the brain senses cold and subsequently induces beiging remains unclear. Here, the authors show that sympathetic nerves stimulate lymph nodes to release IL-33, thereby mediating cold-induced beiging of WAT.
