Dr. Changcheng Zhou and fellow departmental and UK colleagues, including Drs. Yipeng Sui, Zun Liu, Se-Yhung Park, Sean Thatcher and Phil Kern, have published in the new journal JCI Insight, a sister publication of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. In this new study, they identify a key molecular switch that triggers the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, a finding that will help identify targets of intervention for obesity, diabetes and other metabolic diseases that afflict our state of Kentucky.  A link to the article can be found here.
