Mitochondria of young adipocytes release RNA molecules that serve as signals to stimulate the transcription of nuclear-encoded genes for mitobiogenesis and thermogenesis. Mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA) efflux thus establishes retrograde mitochondria–nucleus signalling and triggers heat production from fat. Stimulating this signalling protects against obesity in mice.
