Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.This mini‐review describes the pathophysiology of the disrupted hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis in dogs, and probably cats, with the MDR1 (ABCB1) mutation, ABCB1‐1Δ in dogs and ABCB11930‐1931del TC in cats. Clinical consequences in affected animals are discussed and therapeutic interventions to consider are presented.

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.

The Melanocortin-4 Receptor: Physiology, Pharmacology, and Pathophysiology [PDF]
Endocrine Reviews, 2010 The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) was cloned in 1993 by degenerate PCR; however, its function was unknown. Subsequent studies suggest that the MC4R might be involved in regulating energy homeostasis. This hypothesis was confirmed in 1997 by a series of seminal studies in mice. In 1998, human genetic studies demonstrated that mutations in the MC4R gene

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 ...

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

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.

Melanotan-II reverses autistic features in a maternal immune activation mouse model of autism [PDF]
, 2019 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interactions, difficulty with communication, and repetitive behavior patterns. In humans affected by ASD, there is a male pre-disposition towards the

Comprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.This study investigates the impact of fetal porcine reproductive and respiratory virus (PRRSV) infection on the Hypothalamic–Pituitary‐Thyroid/Adrenal axes. We report that infection‐induced nonthyroidal illness syndrome is associated with multitissue dysregulation of key genes involved in the control of endocrine function, providing insights into ...
