Pathophysiology of melanocortin receptors and their accessory proteins. [PDF]

, 2018
The melanocortin receptors (MCRs) and their accessory proteins (MRAPs) are involved in regulation of a diverse range of endocrine pathways. Genetic variants of these components result in phenotypic variation and disease. The MC1R is expressed in skin and

The Genetic Blueprint of Obesity: From Pathogenesis to Novel Therapies

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by disturbances in energy homeostasis, leading to excessive fat accumulation. The pathogenesis of the disease is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors.

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

Repositioning Antimicrobial Peptides Against WHO‐Priority Fungi

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
The growing burden of drug‐resistant fungal infections, driven by pathogens such as Candida auris, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus, underscores the urgent need for novel antifungal therapies. This review explores antimicrobial peptides as promising agents with membrane‐disruptive activity, immunomodulatory properties, and delivery ...

Shared Lineage, Distinct Outcomes: Yap and Taz Loss Differentially Impact Schwann and Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Development Without Disrupting GnRH‐1 Migration

Glia, Volume 73, Issue 10, Page 2077-2097, October 2025.
Main Points OECs, SCs, and Mel derive from SCPs. Sox10Cre;YapHet;TazKO mice show impaired SC maturation, reduced Mel formation, fewer SCPs, OECs, and olfactory neurons, but normal GnRH‐1 neuron migration. ABSTRACT Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) are glial cells originating from the neural crest and are critical for bundling olfactory axons to the ...
