Melanogenic effect of dersimelagon (MT‐7117), a novel oral melanocortin 1 receptor agonist

Skin Health and Disease, 2022
Background The activation of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes stimulates the production of eumelanin. A tridecapeptide α melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (αMSH) is known to induce skin pigmentation.

Current evidence for a modulation of low back pain by human genetic variants [PDF]

, 2009
The manifestation of chronic back pain depends on structural, psychosocial, occupational and genetic influences. Heritability estimates for back pain range from 30% to 45%. Genetic influences are caused by genes affecting intervertebral disc degeneration

A genetically informed cross‐lagged twin study of the longitudinal association between addiction‐related behaviors and obesity

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Addiction‐related behaviors, such as loss of control eating (LOC), cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, have been associated with high body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to assess genetic and environmental contributions to these associations over time.

Both MC1 and MC3 Receptors Provide Protection From Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion-Induced Neutrophil Recruitment. [PDF]

, 2015
Objective Neutrophil recruitment is a key process in the pathogenesis of stroke, and may provide a valuable therapeutic target. Targeting the melanocortin receptors (MC) has previously shown to inhibit leukocyte recruitment in peripheral inflammation ...

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.

Melanocortin Receptor Accessory Protein 2-Induced Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Response of Human Melanocortin 4 Receptor [PDF]

Journal of the Endocrine Society, 2018
Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), a canonical melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor, is the main responsible for monogenic obesity in humans. Previous studies in fish and avian species showed that MC4R becomes an ACTH receptor after interaction with the melanocortin receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2).

Astrocytes: New Targets of Melanocortin 4 Receptor Actions [PDF]

, 2013
Astrocytes exert a wide variety of functions with paramount importance in brain physiology. After injury or infection, astrocytes become reactive and they respond by producing a variety of inflammatory mediators that help maintain brain homeostasis. Loss

Melanocortin receptor accessory proteins in adrenal disease and obesity. [PDF]

, 2015
Melanocortin receptor accessory proteins (MRAPs) are regulators of the melanocortin receptor family. MRAP is an essential accessory factor for the functional expression of the MC2R/ACTH receptor.

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

HIV 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.
