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.

Global consensus on the management of melanin hyperpigmentation disorders

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
A global Delphi consensus of 10 dermatology experts established evidence‐based recommendations for melanin hyperpigmentation disorders, providing unified classification, photoprotection guidance and treatment algorithms. This framework harmonizes terminology and supports individualized management across diverse skin types and health systems.

Curcumin ameliorates oxaliplatin-induced allodynia response and melanocortin downregulation in the spinal cord

Research Results in Pharmacology
Introduction: Oxaliplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapy agent that often causes chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). This effect limits the potential activity and decreases the cancer patient’s quality of life. Melanocortin and transient

Increased risk for T cell autoreactivity to ß-cell antigens in the mice expressing the Avy obesity-associated gene. [PDF]

, 2019
There has been considerable debate as to whether obesity can act as an accelerator of type 1 diabetes (T1D). We assessed this possibility using transgenic mice (MIP-TF mice) whose ß-cells express enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). Infecting these

Polo‐like kinases and UV‐induced skin carcinogenesis: What we know and what's next

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The polo‐like kinase (PLK) family plays distinct and critical roles in the regulation of cell cycle progression, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various cancers. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a well‐established environmental factor in the development of skin cancer.

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.

Harnessing blue light photobiomodulation for cancer therapy: Evidence from a systematic review

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Conventional treatments for various types of cancer are often associated with tumor recurrence and aggressiveness. Photobiomodulation with blue light (BL; 450–470 nm) emerges as a promising alternative with antitumor effects. This systematic review, with 37 in vitro and in vivo studies from 2002 to 2024, revealed that BL reduces cell viability ...

Moderation of antipsychotic-induced weight gain by energy balance gene variants in the RUPP autism network risperidone studies. [PDF]

, 2013
Second-generation antipsychotic exposure, in both children and adults, carries significant risk for excessive weight gain that varies widely across individuals.
