Overview
- The study identifies KLF-15 protein as key to converting white fat cells into beige fat cells.
- Experiments showed that reducing KLF-15 in white fat cells led to their transformation into beige fat.
- The findings could pave the way for new weight-loss drugs targeting the Adrb1 receptor in humans.
- Previous methods focused on stem cells, but this new approach works directly on existing fat cells.
- Further research is needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of this method in humans.
