Daily News | This Philly team survived the Final Four — in science
The contest was organized by STAT, a Boston-based media outlet that covers science and medicine. The winning project was led by Taku Kambayashi, an associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine.
Kambayashi and graduate student Ruth Choa stimulated these cells in obese mice, and sure enough, the animals’ blood-glucose levels improved. Additional study revealed that the animals’ weight loss was not the result of burning calories any faster or eating less food. Instead, they were secreting the fatty molecules through their skin.
Some scientists have expressed skepticism that the findings can be applied to people, though humans secrete sebum, too. More study is underway.
