GENOVATIONS

SKINNY MICE

Text Box: In 2002, a team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin knocked out a gene called SCD1 from mice and created a mouse that didn’t get fat, no matter how much of a high-fat diet it ate. The mouse did not accumulate fat in the liver or other tissues that may have contributed to health problems.
