Synthetic Anti-Obesity Device (IMAGE)
Caption
Implanted designer cells engineered with a synthetic anti-obesity gene network constantly score the blood fat level of the animals and coordinate excessive blood fat levels to appetite suppression thereby reducing food intake and body weight of diet-induced obese mice on an all-you-can-eat 60 percent fat diet. (Illustration shows diet-induced obese mice of the Jackson Laboratory.)
