Abstract
In a recent issue of Cell, Orthofer et al. (2020) present a body of data from mice, flies, and humans that suggest (1) a physiological role for Alk in the normal control of energy balance across several species and (2) a possible contribution of genetic variants in or near ALK to the variability of adiposity in humans, more specifically at its lower end.
