How do we overcome two global health pandemics?
Dr Kevin Watt and Associate Professor Paul Gregorevic share their research that may help to combat obesity, a major risk factor for severe COVID-19.
While COVID-19-specific vaccines are offering a solution to the SARS-CoV-2 crisis, we’ve lacked effective interventions to treat the global obesity pandemic – but that could be about to change.
Dr Kevin Watt and Associate Professor Paul Gregorevic have led research, published in Nature Communications, that shows how a protein called Yap in skeletal muscle could be the key to new therapeutic targets to combat obesity.
