Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by progressive vision loss. A previous study from our group showed that glaucoma‐induced retinal degeneration disrupts photic signaling to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), altering the molecular components of the central circadian clock.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.ABSTRACT Genome sharing in gonochorous species is expected to result in intraspecific conflicts due to intersexual competition. The emergence of sexual dimorphism is thus connected to the evolution of mechanisms that, starting from a similar genomic background, produce sufficiently disparate phenotypes to attenuate sexually antagonistic selection.

Cold exposure and metabolic health: Therapeutic potential for obesity, diabetes, and beyond
Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2026.Abstract Cold exposure, an inducer of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, has been applied to relieve exercise‐induced pain and inflammation, modulate circulation and enhance metabolism. However, its role in managing metabolic diseases and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain inadequately understood.
