Signal Amplification in the HPT Axis—Evidence for Its Existence, Location, Significance, and Molecular Mechanisms

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Thyroid hormones (THs) are under negative feedback regulation via the hypothalamic–pituitary‐thyroid (HPT) axis. How this axis operates to keep the circulating THs within a narrow physiological range is not well understood quantitatively. Led by the design principle of robust homeostatic feedback control, here we review and synthesize the ...

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitors Improve Cornea Alkali Wound Healing

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 6, 31 March 2026.
Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibition enhances corneal wound healing following alkali injury. (A) Schematic representation of corneal injury induced by NaOH or ammonia showing elevated sEH expression in corneal keratocytes. This leads to rapid hydrolysis of epoxy fatty acids (EpFAs), reducing their bioavailability and contributing to enhanced ...
