The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus – an essential hub for appetite control – and in peripheral ...

Melatonin and the Dental Pulp: A Scoping Review

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 590-613, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In general medicine, melatonin is known to enhance wound healing and promote stem cell differentiation. Its potential relevance in endodontics, however, remains underexplored. Objectives This scoping review aimed to systematically assess the available evidence on the effects of melatonin (a) on dental pulp tissue and (b) on human ...

Increased serum level of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP/MMP-14) in patients with breast cancer.

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010
Different types of matrix metalloproteinases, including membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP/MMP-14) can be easily detected in biological fluids and therefore may be contemplated as putative tumor markers.

Behavioral Phenotype and Neuropsychological Profile of an Adult With Smith‐Magenis Syndrome due to a Previously Unreported RAI1 Mutation: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Smith‐Magenis Syndrome (SMS) is an uncommon genetic disorder caused by microdeletions of chromosome 17p11.2 including the RAI1 gene, or loss‐of‐function mutations that directly affect RAI1. Due to the involvement of RAI1 in neurodevelopment, SMS leads to typical pathologic features in the behavioral and physical phenotype that must be ...

Quercetin and Its Nano‐Based Formulations Against Skin Cancer: A Narrative Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Skin cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, characterized by the abnormal growth of skin cells and significant clinical challenges. Conventional treatments—including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy—often suffer from limitations such as adverse side effects, tumor resistance, and inadequate efficacy.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 475-512, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...
