Provided herein are, inter alia, methods, compositions, and kits for producing adipocyte populations such as beige adipocyte populations. Also included are methods and compositions for increasing the level of adipocyte populations (e.g., beige adipocyte populations) in a subject, as well as methods and compositions for treating subjects who are overweight, obese, or who have diabetes.

Methods, compositions, and kits for producing beige adipocytes and treating metabolic disorders

The present invention relates to compositions and methods associated with cocktails of growth factors and small molecules that target specific cell signaling pathways, the cocktails having been formulated to allow/promote the expansion of progenitor cells (e.g., nephron progenitor cells) within a defined culture system.
