OT: Synthetic brown fat implants... Adult stem cell therapeutics

[illuminaught]

What do you guys think about this development?http://news.berkeley.edu/2015/08/20/engineered-implants-turn-white-fat-to-brown/

(Keep in mind that these bioengineering approaches can/are being applied for other tissues)

Interesting.

Natural selection is giving way to artificial selection.

I Wonder when WADA will have to issue guidance surrounding this type of tissue engineering therapy.

Sweet! I'm headed to MacDonald's for lunch, anyone else?

Interesting that the study was at UC Berkeley.

AFAIK, fat is not allowed in Berkeley.

Problem is that brown fat is hard to find in adults and more active in cold weather.

Look at the Canadian cold buster bar.

Wow... I they need people to test that... I'm in!
