Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.

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.

Gene transfer to chicks using lentiviral vectors administered via the embryonic chorioallantoic membrane.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The lack of affordable techniques for gene transfer in birds has inhibited the advancement of molecular studies in avian species. Here we demonstrate a new approach for introducing genes into chicken somatic tissues by administration of a lentiviral ...

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Peptide hormones - Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (Alpha-MSH)

Peptide hormones, for instance Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH, pituitary hormone), Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (α-MSH, Melanocortin), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Cholecytokinin, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), measured with traditional ...

A role for β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in human body-weight regulation

, 2006
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) expressing neurons mediate the regulation of orexigenic drive by peripheral hormones such as leptin, cholecystokinin, ghrelin, and insulin.

Identification and Validation of Biomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps and Study of Their Associated Mechanisms

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell senescence (CS) and lipid metabolism (LM) disorders have been reported in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanism is still unclear. Methods Data were obtained from public databases; differential expression analysis and machine learning were performed to identify biomarkers and to understand the

Structure elucidation of a human melanocortin-4 receptor specific orthosteric nanobody agonist

Nature Communications
The melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) belongs to the melanocortin receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors and is a key switch in the leptin-melanocortin molecular axis that controls hunger and satiety.

Risk of Cancer With Hormone Replacement Therapy: A Narrative Review

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) remains the cornerstone of menopausal symptom management, effectively alleviating vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary syndrome, whilst mitigating long‐term risks such as osteoporosis. However, despite an increasing body of evidence on the relative safety of HRT, earlier studies that demonstrated an increased ...
