Adipocyte‐specific NIK depletion enhances energy metabolism and glucose tolerance in mice
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Obesity is associated with reduced energy expenditure and increased hepatic lipid accumulation. This study reveals that loss of NIK in adipocytes stimulates FGF21‐driven expression of thermogenic genes, including UCP1, and mitochondrial uncoupled respiration.

Tankyrase‐2 regulates adipocyte differentiation through AMPK/mTOR signaling
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Tankyrase 2 (TNKS2), a PARP family member, underpins adipocyte differentiation. TNKS2 controls LKB1 protein level, and consequently, the activity of the mTOR/AMPK system and adipocyte differentiation through a layered process. Pharmacological inhibition of TNKS2 leaves other PARPs and DNA repair active and therefore represents a novel target in ...

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation
International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.This scheme illustrates the main results of the present study showing an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) that are likely to be related to several mechanisms like decrease in FFA insulin sensitivity and increase in FFA production. Significant changes are labelled in white, and non‐significant or hypothesis are labelled in pale green ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Ion Channel Dysfunction and Therapeutic Targeting in Salivary Gland Disorders
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Salivary gland hypofunction and xerostomia represent major clinical complications of radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders such as Sjögren's disease, and inherited epithelial ion transport defects. This review integrates current knowledge on ion channel dysfunction as a central mechanistic driver of salivary gland pathology and ...

Impact of systemic diseases on periodontal remodeling: Mechanisms, mediators, and clinical relevance
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Periodontal remodeling is a continuous, adaptive process essential for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of periodontal tissues. While external factors such as bacterial biofilm, excessive forces, and poor oral hygiene are recognized triggers of periodontal pathologies, they do not fully explain their persistent ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and is characterized by impaired Ca2+ handling and mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. However, the upstream mechanisms linking metabolic stress to these alterations remain incompletely defined.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Left atrial myocytes have TAT‐associated faster Ca2+ release but are more prone to maladaptation at higher frequencies due to weaker peripheral SR Ca2+ uptake and smaller trigger Ca2+ current. Abstract Changes in heart rate affect Ca2+ signalling and contractility in ventricular muscle, but the effects on atrial Ca2+ signalling ...
