A brain-boosting protein can improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy because depression negatively affects response to cancer drugs, says a study.

For the study, the team exposed adolescent mice with at least one copy of a variant of the BDNF gene -- associated with anorexia and anxiety in mice and humans.

Researchers have identified a single variation in a gene that influences obesity in children and adults by lowering the levels of a certain protein that helps us feel full.
