The transcription factor PR domain containing 16 (PRDM16) is a critical switch factor in determining the commitment of mouse Myf5+ precursors to brown adipocytes versus myogenic cells (Jimenez-Preitner et al., 2011; Kajimura et al., 2009).

Final decisions on lineage choice may thus be determined by the combination of TCR affinity and strength of the TCR signals with absolute levels of signaling determining lineage commitment choices.
Epigenetic variation, which could be a function of numerous factors, including age and environmental conditions, has been shown to characterize stem cells and to play an important role in determining cell commitment and plasticity [62] [64].
Last, defining cell intrinsic factors which may be important in determining lineage commitment and cell fate in the mammary epithelium.
