Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has been reported to undergo inflammatory changes in response to vascular injury. Here, the authors show that vascular injury induces the beiging (brown adipose tissue-like phenotype change) of PVAT, which fine-tunes inflammatory response as a protective mechanism.
