Wired for Obesity: Genes Involved in Development Can Affect Body Weight
Researchers have pinpointed a set of molecules that wire the body weight center of the brain.
The finding that people with obesity have rare mutations in semaphorin signaling shows that semaphorins are important in maintaining healthy body weight.
The research is in Cell. (full open access)
