"Dr Riccardo Panella, co-founder and chief executive of Turin-based biotech Resalis Therapeutics, said: Rather than reducing appetite, it changes the way in which the body uses fats, boosts the production and activity of mitochondria, the batteries' that power cells, and helps convert white fat, which stores energy, into brown fat, which burns it. Because it acts on these fundamental pathways, weight regain is less likely."
A new weekly injection called RES-010 targets the RNA molecule miR-22 to change how the body uses and stores fat. The treatment is designed to boost mitochondrial production and activity and to convert energy-storing white fat into energy-burning brown fat. The mechanism operates on fundamental metabolic pathways rather than by suppressing appetite, which could reduce the likelihood of weight regain after discontinuation. A news outlet emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, keeps reporting free of paywalls, and relies on reader donations to fund accessible investigative journalism.
