Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT The melanocortin‐3 receptor (MC3R) and the melanocortin‐4 receptor (MC4R), both expressed in hypothalamic nuclei, are key downstream effectors of leptin signaling and play important roles in energy homeostasis. While pathogenic variants in the MC4R gene represent the most common cause of monogenic obesity, the clinical significance of MC3R ...

How Effective Is Vitamin C for Gingival Depigmentation? A Scoping Review
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Excessive gingival pigmentation can be treated by surgically removing the pigmented gingival tissue with a scalpel, bur, LASER, electrocautery, cryotherapy, chemical peeling, or masking with free gingival grafts. Recently, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), in gel, powder, or liquid has been used alone or as an adjunct to micro‐needling or ...
