Adipose tissue(AT)is highly plastic and heterogeneous in response to environmental and nutritional changes.The development of heat-dissipating beige adipocytes in white AT(WAT)through a process known as browning(or beiging)has garnered much at-tention as a promising therapeutic strategy for obesity and its related metabolic complications.This is due to its inducibility in response to thermogenic stimulation and its association with improved metabolic health.WAT consists of adipocytes,nerves,vascular endothelial cells,various types of immune cells,adipocyte progenitor cells,and fibroblasts.These cells contribute to the formation of beige adipocytes through the release of protein factors that significantly influence browning capacity.In addi-tion,inter-organ crosstalk is also important for beige adipocyte biogenesis.Here,we summarize recent findings on fat depot-specific differences,secretory factors participating in intercellular and inter-organ communications that regulate the recruitment of thermogenic beige adipocytes,as well as challenges in targeting beige adipocytes as a potential anti-obese therapy.

鄂尔多斯盆地为典型的克拉通内盆地,油、气、煤、盐、铀等矿产资源丰富.研究构造运动的期次、序列与性质将为揭示克拉通盆地的成因与演化过程奠定基础,同时也将为探讨多种能源、矿产资源赋存的内在机制提供依据.基于近年来的高精度区域反射地震剖面和深井资料,结合周缘地质露头分析,通过厘定鄂尔多斯盆地的关键构造变革时期,建立了盆地演化的时-空框架.研究表明,鄂尔多斯盆地由下至上发育10个区域不整合面,分别为长城系、蓟县系、震旦系、寒武系、奥陶系、石炭系、三叠系、侏罗系、白垩系和第四系底界不整合面;盆地发育中元古界、寒武系
当沉积盆地累计产量超过50×108 bbl油当量(6.82×108 t油或7931.66×108 m3气)和剩余可采资源量超过50× 108 bbl油当量即称之为超级盆地.四川盆地至2019年底油气总产量为6569×108 m3,气油比为80∶1,总剩余可采资源量达136404× 108 m3,属二级超级盆地;由于产出以气为主,故为超级气盆地.四川盆地之所以成为超级气盆地,因其具有4个优势:①气源岩优势,有9组主要气源岩,为全国各盆地之首;②资源量优势,总剩余天然气可采资源量为136404×108 m3,
