Scientists find brain cells that respond to hunger-suppressing hormone leptin, potentially aiding obesity treatment.

Researchers have identified a new group of neurons in the brain's hypothalamus that respond to the hormone leptin, which helps suppress hunger. These neurons could be a target for future obesity treatments by potentially reducing weight or suppressing hunger. The study, published in Nature, involved researchers from several universities and suggests a new pathway for understanding and treating obesity.
