ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Nov. 4 (TNSJou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:
Scientists have identified how a protein in the brain uses information about the body's energy balance to regulate growth rate and the onset of puberty in children.
The research, published Nov. 3 in the journal Nature, centered on the melanocortin 3 receptor (MC3R), a member of a family of proteins that have long been known to play central roles in metabolism and e . . .
