Stanford researchers, aided by AI, have identified a natural molecule, BRP, that significantly suppresses appetite and promotes fat loss in animals.

BRP reduced food intake by up to 50% and targets a different brain pathway, offering hope for a more precise obesity treatment if human trials succeed.
