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.

Super-High Magnification Dermoscopy in 190 Clinically Atypical Pigmented Lesions
Super-high (×400) magnification dermoscopy (D400) is a new non-invasive imaging technique that has been shown to add information for the differential diagnosis of melanocytic lesions in a pilot study.

Detection of Cellular Senescence in Human Primary Melanocytes and Malignant Melanoma Cells In Vitro
Detection and quantification of senescent cells remain difficult due to variable phenotypes and the absence of highly specific and reliable biomarkers. It is therefore widely accepted to use a combination of multiple markers and cellular characteristics ...

Melanocytes and Skin Immunity [PDF]
Melanocytes in skin are melanin-producing cells that are derived from the neural crest. They migrate during embryological development and localize in the epidermis and hair follicles where they pigment skin and hair (Nishimura, 2011). Melanocytes and their production of melanin pigment (a process termed melanogenesis) have important roles in cutaneous ...

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.
