Cover of Nature Metabolism features the magazine name in white letters at the top, with a background showcasing immunofluorescent photomicroscopy of adipocytes. The adipocytes have gold-yellow membranes, a green fat reservoir, and blue nuclei. In the lower left corner, the text 'From gene variants to disease mechanisms' is written in white.
