  Regulation of body heat production by high order chromatin structure

  A research group at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that, in
  addition to previously known transcription factor-mediated gene
  expression, rapid conformational change of higher order chromatin
  structure is required to maintain body temperature in cold conditions.
