    Studysummary In this study, deleting the transcriptional pause factor Nelfb in mouse preadipocyte lineages led to defective dermal fat formation and lethal outcomes, while interventions targeting Pparg could rescue adipocyte differentiation and promote dermal white adipose tissue formation, underscoring Nelfb's critical role in adipogenesis.
