Abstract

The increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes is an urgent worldwide health challenge. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Yue et al. (2017) report a proof-of-concept study using genetically engineered skin transplants that produce the incretin GLP-1 to prevent diet-induced obesity, suggesting a powerful approach for treating metabolic disorders.
