Neurotensin co-expressed in orexin-producing neurons in the lateral hypothalamus plays an important role in regulation of sleep/wakefulness states. [PDF]
Both orexin and neurotensin are expressed in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and have been implicated in the regulation of feeding, motor activity and the reward system.

When the Scale Drops: Pathways to Weight Loss in Parkinson's Disease and Future Directions
Abstract Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is classically defined by its motor features, non‐motor symptoms exert a substantial and often under‐recognized influence on disease trajectory. Among these, weight loss has long been observed in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders, yet the mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Advancing pharmacometrics in Africa—Transition from capacity development toward job creation
Abstract Trained pharmacometricians remain scarce in Africa due to limited training opportunities, lack of a pharmaceutical product development ecosystem, and emigration to high‐income countries. The Applied Pharmacometrics Training (APT) fellowship program was established to address these gaps and specifically foster job creation for talent retention.

Salivary biomarkers in sleep‐related disorders
Abstract The exploration of salivary biomarkers has emerged as a promising avenue in the diagnosis and management of sleep‐related disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), insomnia, and sleep deprivation. Saliva is a noninvasive biofluid that contains a wealth of biological markers, reflecting both local and systemic physiological changes ...
