Leptin modulates nutrient reward via inhibitory galanin action on orexin neurons
Molecular Metabolism, 2015 Objective: Leptin modulates food reward via central leptin receptor (LepRb) expressing neurons. Food reward requires stimulation of midbrain dopamine neurons and is modulated by central leptin action, but the exact central mechanisms remain unclear ...

A theory that predicts behaviors of disordered cytoskeletal networks
Molecular Systems Biology, 2017 Morphogenesis in animal tissues is largely driven by actomyosin networks, through tensions generated by an active contractile process. Although the network components and their properties are known, and networks can be reconstituted in vitro, the ...
