Adonis McStay-Fit
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that when mice have a mutation in the immune gene TLR-4, they are naturally svelte their whole lives, and don't have age-related bone thinning. Sounds good to me, but I wonder what effect this has on their immune function? They don't seem to have any deficits, but one hopes there's some reason we have a gene that makes us less fit!
