Highlights include:

• “…transform that energy-storing white fat into energy-burning brown fat.”
• “…a nanoparticle that you inject into the white fat and it converts the white fat into brown fat…”
• “…you can eat the same amount and continue to lose weight.”
• “…because the sizes are so small that the particles are easily uptaken by the fat cells…”
• Adipo Will Need Five to Six Million Dollars in Funding to Get to a Deal with a Strategic Player
• “…it's a large market that has a proven, well understood regulatory pathway.”
