A genetically engineered mouse that eats more without gaining weight is the latest in a long line of cutting edge discoveries by Garvan Institute’s Diabetes & Obesity research team led by Professor David James. The paper, published in today’s edition of the prestigious Journal of Clinical Investigation (USA) demonstrates that mice lacking a specific gene called c-Cbl (pronounced c-sybil) have a similar body weight to normal mice but have less fat, despite eating significantly more food.
