Funded Activity Summary

Obesity increases the risk of developing diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, however not all obese people develop such diseases. Obese subjects with small fat cells are typically healthier than those with fewer, large fat cells. The applicants have identified a novel pathway that promotes the generation of new fat cells. This project will increase understanding of this pathway and may, ultimately, lead to new therapies that manipulate fat cell number and reduce obesity related disease.
