GDF15 and energy balance: homing in on a mechanism

Nature Medicine 23, 1119 (2017). doi:10.1038/nm.4414 Authors: Irene Cimino, Anthony P Coll & Giles S H Yeo Three recent studies in mice have identified a specific receptor, GFRAL, for the known anorectic peptide GDF15. The finding increases mechanistic understanding of its effect and paves the way for the development of novel anti-obesity therapeutics.
