Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN), particularly at blue wavelengths, disrupts circadian rhythms by suppressing melatonin, thereby increasing cancer susceptibility. This systematic review consolidates evidence linking prolonged ALAN exposure to an elevated risk of breast and prostate tumors.

Childhood Obesity and Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Genetic Diseases that Contribute to Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
, 2014 Childhood obesity occurs as the result of an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expenditure. Genetic risk factors for obesity have become an area of research due to its permanency.

Anti-melanocortin-4 receptor autoantibodies in obesity [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) is part of an important pathway regulating energy balance. Here we report the existence of autoantibodies (autoAbs) against the MC4R in sera of obese patients.

Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 Food intake is tightly regulated by a group of neurons present in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, which release Pomc-encoded melanocortins, the absence of which induces marked hyperphagia and early-onset obesity.

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 2, Page 291-299, February 2026.ABSTRACT Heterozygous pathogenic variants in TBX3 cause Ulnar‐Mammary syndrome (UMS). The phenotype is classically characterized by upper limb defects, apocrine/mammary gland hypoplasia, hypogonadism, and various midline defects. However, the clinical spectrum is highly variable, and some individuals may present with a mild or atypical presentation ...

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

Role of Acid‐Sensing Ion Channels 1a in the Regulation of Obesity and the Gut Microbiota
Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 372-381, February 2026.ABSTRACT Objective Acid‐sensing ion channels are proton‐activated ion channels predominantly found in the nervous system. They are well known to affect metabolic and neurological health, yet their role in obesity and gut physiology remains unclear. This study investigates how systemic deletion of Asic1a influences obesity, metabolic, and gut‐based ...

The gliotransmitter ACBP controls feeding and energy homeostasis via the melanocortin system.
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019 Glial cells have emerged as key players in the central control of energy balance and etiology of obesity. Astrocytes play a central role in neural communication via the release of gliotransmitters.
