Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Development of a genetically encoded melanocortin sensor for high sensitivity in vivo imaging

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: The central melanocortin system, composed of peptides derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) such as the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-, β-, γ-MSH) and melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R), along with the agouti-related protein (AgRP), plays

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Gut microbiota as a novel therapeutic target for eating disorders and obesity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract highlights the bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiota and central homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms regulating food intake, which contributes to overweight and obesity. It also illustrates emerging microbiota‐based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies (including prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, synbiotics and ...

Arcuate AgRP neurons and the regulation of energy balance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
The arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus contains at least two crucial populations of neurons that continuously monitor signals reflecting energy status and promote the appropriate behavioral and metabolic responses to changes in energy demand.

Age‐specific melanoma risk associated with nevi: a pooled analysis from the M‐SKIP project

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Objective This study investigates the association of melanoma risk with total‐body nevus count and the presence of atypical nevi in younger (< 40 years) and older (> 60 years) individuals. Methods A pooled analysis was conducted within the M‐SKIP project, based on multiple melanoma case‐control studies.

Therapeutic Effects of Stimulating the Melanocortin Pathway in Regulating Ocular Inflammation and Cell Death

Biomolecules
Alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and its binding receptors (the melanocortin receptors) play important roles in maintaining ocular tissue integrity and immune homeostasis.

Early Weight Regain After GLP‐1 Receptor Agonist Discontinuation: Mechanisms and Implications for Treatment De‐Escalation Strategies

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RAs) have transformed the pharmacological management of obesity, producing substantial and sustained weight loss during active treatment. However, discontinuation of therapy is frequently followed by significant weight regain, raising important questions regarding the durability of treatment ...

Dolutegravir population pharmacokinetics in racially, sex‐ and age‐diverse and antiretroviral therapy‐experienced adults with HIV in the United States

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Dolutegravir (DTG) has been associated with weight gain in women with HIV, Black people with HIV and people with HIV60 years. This study aimed to characterise DTG population pharmacokinetics (PopPK) in a diverse population including these sub‐populations.

Divergent effects of central melanocortin signalling on fat and sucrose preference in humans

Nature Communications, 2016
Hypothalamic melanocortin-4-receptors (MC4R) regulate food preference in rodents, but their role in humans is unclear. Here, the authors perform food preference and liking tests in humans with MC4R mutations and find that they prefer fatty food more, but
