Appetite Regulation Molecule Found: Could Lead To Treatments For Obesi
Researchers have developed a novel way to control the extreme weight loss, common in late-stage cancer, which often speeds death. It may soon be possible to prevent this condition, giving people the strength to survive treatment and improve their chances of recovery. Conversely when normal and obese mice are treated with this molecule, they eat less and lose a lot of weight, suggesting that it may also form the basis of a treatment for severe obesity. Radio Waves Fire Up Nanotubes Embedded In Tumors, Destroying Liver Can
