Scientists have identified a remarkable protein switch that influences whether cells burn fat or store it. Disabling this protein increases fat consumption and interferes with the formation of new fat cells, raising the possibility of a different approach to treating obesity.

What if one of the keys to fighting obesity lies not in suppressing appetite, but in changing how the body's cells use energy?
