Laser light, a dye and a nonsurgical implant could help overcome obesity

When dieting and exercise aren't enough, weight-loss surgery can be an effective obesity treatment.

Now, researchers report that they have augmented that procedure in laboratory animals by coating an implant with a laser-activated dye that kills cells producing ghrelin, the 'hunger hormone.'
