Mechanisms of light in regulating the chick pineal clock. Abstract The circadian clock significantly impacts animal health and productivity, with light playing a crucial role in regulating circadian rhythms. However, the mechanisms behind light‐induced circadian transmission remain unclear, particularly in light‐sensitive avian species.

Time\u27s Arrow Flies Like a Bird: Two Paradoxes for Avian Circadian Biology [PDF]
Biological timekeeping in birds is a fundamental feature of avian physiology, behavior and ecology. The physiological basis for avian circadian rhythmicity has pointed to a multi-oscillator system of mutually coupled pacemakers in the pineal gland, eyes ...

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is prevalent in the elderly population and characterized by the intracellular accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed of tau proteins, and extracellular deposition of beta‐amyloid protein (Aβ). The present study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of melatonin on Aβ42‐induced AD‐like ...

Light constitutes a primary signal whereby endogenous circadian clocks are synchronized (‘entrained’) with the day/night cycle. The molecular mechanisms underlying this vital process are known to require gene activation, yet are incompletely understood ...

HISTOMORPHOGENESIS OF PINEAL GLAND IN GOAT FOETUSES [PDF]
Prenatal development of pineal gland in goat was studied using 52 goat foetuses ranging from 1.4cm CRL (24 days of gestation) to 41.5cm CRL (full term). Pineal gland developed during the seventh week as a conical evagination on the caudo-dorsal aspect of

Gland Segmentation Via Dual Encoders and Boundary-Enhanced Attention [PDF]
Accurate and automated gland segmentation on pathological images can assist pathologists in diagnosing the malignancy of colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, due to various gland shapes, severe deformation of malignant glands, and overlapping adhesions between glands. Gland segmentation has always been very challenging.

Neural Annotation Refinement: Development of a New 3D Dataset for Adrenal Gland Analysis [PDF]
The human annotations are imperfect, especially when produced by junior practitioners. Multi-expert consensus is usually regarded as golden standard, while this annotation protocol is too expensive to implement in many real-world projects. In this study, we propose a method to refine human annotation, named Neural Annotation Refinement (NeAR).

Background Pediatric brain cancer survivors often experience hypothalamic–pituitary dysfunction due to cranial irradiation and chemotherapy. While hormone deficiencies have been studied, the changes in pituitary size and shape on long‐term MRI and their relationship to endocrine dysfunction remain under‐explored.

The Contribution of the Pineal Gland on Daily Rhythms and Masking in Diurnal Grass Rats, Arvicanthis niloticus [PDF]
Melatonin is a hormone rhythmically secreted at night by the pineal gland in vertebrates. In diurnal mammals, melatonin is present during the inactive phase of the rest/activity cycle, and in primates it directly facilitates sleep and decreases body ...
