Abstract:
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a compelling therapeutic target against metabolic diseases. Mechanical cues regulate BAT function and may offer novel, non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches. Herein, we discuss the biomechanical pathways underlying BAT activation, highlight advances in mechanotherapeutic strategies, and consider how emerging technologies may enhance these interventions.
