HypoMap—a unified single-cell gene expression atlas of the murine hypothalamus
The hypothalamus plays a key role in coordinating fundamental body functions. Despite recent progress in single-cell technologies, a unified catalog and molecular characterization of the heterogeneous cell types and, specifically, neuronal subtypes in ...

Single-cell analysis of the aging female mouse hypothalamus
Alterations in metabolism, sleep patterns, body composition and hormone status are all key features of aging. While the hypothalamus is a well-conserved brain region that controls these homeostatic and survival-related behaviors, little is known about ...

The Hypothalamus and Obesity [PDF]
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions across the developed world. Even though there have been numerous scientific advances in terms of the understanding of the regulation of energy homeostasis, few novel anti-obesity drugs have emerged. Furthermore, those that are available have limited efficacy in producing and maintaining a weight loss beyond 10%.

Both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) are important epigenetic modifications in neurodevelopment. However, there is little research examining the genome-wide patterns of 5mC and 5hmC in brain regions of animals under natural high-

The hypocretins: hypothalamus-specific peptides with neuroexcitatory activity.
We describe a hypothalamus-specific mRNA that encodes preprohypocretin, the putative precursor of a pair of peptides that share substantial amino acid identities with the gut hormone secretin.

Cellular and molecular properties of neural progenitors in the developing mammalian hypothalamus
The neuroendocrine hypothalamus is the central regulator of vital physiological homeostasis and behavior. However, the cellular and molecular properties of hypothalamic neural progenitors remain unexplored.

Role of hypothalamus function in metabolic diseases and its potential mechanisms [PDF]
The hypothalamus, a crucial neuroendocrine regulatory center, plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of metabolic diseases. Recent advances in molecular biology and imaging technology have facilitated a better understanding of the ...

A Molecular Census of Arcuate Hypothalamus and Median Eminence Cell Types
The hypothalamic arcuate–median eminence complex (Arc-ME) controls energy balance, fertility and growth through molecularly distinct cell types, many of which remain unknown. To catalog cell types in an unbiased way, we profiled gene expression in 20,921

Exogenous spermidine affects polyamine metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus
Spermidine is important for the hypothalamic control of pituitary secretion of hormones involved in neuroendocrine functions in mammals. In this study, the effect of exogenous spermidine on the expression of genes and proteins related to polyamine ...

Huntingtin-associated protein 1 (Hap1) was initially identified as a brain-enriched protein that binds to the Huntington’s disease protein, huntingtin. Unlike huntingtin that is ubiquitously expressed in the brain, Hap1 is enriched in the brain with the ...
