Differential Signaling Profiles of MC4R Mutations with Three Different Ligands [PDF]
The melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) is a key player in hypothalamic weight regulation and energy expenditure as part of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Mutations in this G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) are the most common cause for monogenetic obesity,

Feeding Stimulates Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Mobilization in Mouse Hypothalamus. [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that the sphingolipid-derived mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) reduces food intake by activating G protein-coupled S1P receptor-1 (S1PR1) in the hypothalamus.

Detection of circulating tumor cells is achieved by flow cytometry in melanoma patients
Abstract Melanoma is an aggressive skin tumor whose incidence is rising sharply, and for which the determination of new prognostic factors is a major challenge. In oncology, circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are at the heart of much research, as they represent a source of tumor material obtained non‐invasively by liquid biopsy.

Kit and Melanocyte Migration [PDF]
As described in this issue, Alexeev and Yoon introduced a Kit-activating mutation into melanocytes. Although mitogenic in mast cells, this mutation was motogenic in melanocytes. Further, melanocytes had a reduced proliferative rate and were less differentiated.

Vitiligo is the most common depigmentation disorder of the skin. Currently, its therapy focuses on the halting of the immune response and stimulation of the regenerative processes, leading to the restoration of normal melanocyte function.

Obesity Induces Hypothalamic Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Impairs Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) Post-translational Processing [PDF]
It was shown previously that abnormal prohormone processing or inactive proconverting enzymes that are responsible for this processing cause profound obesity.

Spatiotemporal distribution of neural crest cells in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis
Abstract Background Neural crest cells (NCCs) are migratory embryonic stem cells that give rise to a diverse set of cell types. Here we describe the dynamic distribution of NCCs in developing embryos of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis inferred from 10 markers.

MicroRNAs in melanoma development and resistance to target therapy [PDF]
microRNAs constitute a complex class of pleiotropic post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression involved in the control of several physiologic and pathologic processes.
