Cell-reprogramming technology and neuroscience
Advances in cell-reprogramming technology have made it possible to convert differentiated cells of one type into cells of a completely different origin and function, either directly or via the production of induced pluripotent stem cells.

Neural regulation of food intake and energy balance
The obesity epidemic has stimulated research to improve our understanding of how the brain regulates energy balance and food intake, and to identify potential targets for anti–obesity drugs. In the past few decades, numerous molecules have been implicated in the regulation of energy balance.
