New stem cell research could aid in battle against bulging waistlines

New stem cell research could aid in battle against bulging waistlines: Innovative adult stem cell research by scientists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston could aid efforts to apply the brakes to stem cells that produce the type of fat ringing the waists of millions. The scientists have developed a bold approach for targeting fat-generating stem cells that one day could aid in the delivery of drugs that slow the cells' ability to direct fat expansion.
