Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations

open access: yesThe Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

Inhibition of Food Intake by PACAP in the Hypothalamic Ventromedial Nuclei is Mediated by NMDA Receptors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Central injections of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) into the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus produce hypophagia that is dependent upon the PAC1 receptor; however, the signaling downstream of this receptor in the

Exploring the impact of Cabotegravir‐Rilpivirine long‐acting on weight gain, body composition and quality of life in adults living with HIV

open access: yesHIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Long‐acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (ART) with Cabotegravir (CAB) and Rilpivirine (RPV) offers an alternative to daily oral regimens, improving adherence and patient satisfaction. However, its impact on body composition and metabolism remains underexplored.

A novel approach to target skin photodamage: Topical application of salt inducible kinase inhibitors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
UV‐induced photodamage leads to increased DNA damage and elevated MMP levels, which degrade collagen and contribute to wrinkle formation. SLT‐001 and SLT‐008, novel cosmetic ingredients that target salt‐inducible kinase, help reverse this effect by enhancing DNA repair, reducing MMP expression and decreasing erythema, thereby mitigating photodamage ...

Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy of Melanoma Targeting the Melanocortin 1 Receptor

open access: yesMolecular Imaging, 2017
Melanoma is a deadly disease at late metastatic stage, and early diagnosis and accurate staging remain the key aspects for managing melanoma. The melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1 R) is overexpressed in primary and metastatic melanomas, and its endogenous ...
