FAT COULD FADE WITHOUT GENEA new study shows that a change in a single gene in mice allows them to eat as much as they want while staying thin and even live longer.Dr. C. Ronald Kahn, of Harvard Medical School, and colleagues genetically engineered a mouse that lacked a gene called fat specific insulin receptor. The mice fed freely without gaining much fat and also lived longer than normal mice.Kahn, said he is looking for a biotechnology company or pharmaceutical specialist to work with to try and design such a drug.
