How thermogenic stimuli activate and control beige adipocytes is not fully understood. In this issue, Zhu et al. (2016) and Altshuler-Keylin et al. (2016) provide insights into these important issues by demonstrating roles for connexin 43 (Cx43) atg5 and atg12 in signal propagation and phenotypic adaptation in beige adipocytes.
