Protocol for stromal vascular fraction isolation from inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue and beige adipocyte differentiation
Research on inducing beige adipocytes to combat obesity and its comorbidities is growing, with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from white adipose tissue showing potential to differentiate into both white and beige adipocytes. Here, we present a protocol for isolating the SVF from the iWAT (inguinal white adipose tissue) of mice and differentiating them into mature beige adipocytes. This protocol can be used to analyze the translational regulation and metabolic processes of beige adipocytes in vitro. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Xu et al.<sup>1</sup>.
