Nutrient Sensing by Hypothalamic Tanycytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Nutritional signals have long been implicated in the control of cellular processes that take place in the hypothalamus. This includes food intake regulation and energy balance, inflammation, and most recently, neurogenesis.

ATP-mediated glucosensing by hypothalamic tanycytes [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2011 The hypothalamus contains key neural circuits involved in the control of feeding and energy balance. Stimulated by the inexorable rise of obesity, there has been intense study of these neural circuits.

Hypothalamic Rax+ tanycytes contribute to tissue repair and tumorigenesis upon oncogene activation in mice [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Tanycytes contribute to the regulation of multiple hypothalamic functions. Here the authors investigate the regenerative and tumorigenic potential of adult Rax+ tanycytes in the median eminence in the context of the stem cell niche in mice.

Tanycytes: morphology and functions: a review. [PDF]
, 1985 The chapter presents a review of the morphology and functions of tanycytes. The name “tanycyte,” derived from the Greek word “tanus,” which means “elongated,” was chosen to stress the shape of these bipolar cells, in relation at their apical pole with ...

MCT expression and lactate influx/efflux in tanycytes involved in glia-neuron metabolic interaction. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Metabolic interaction via lactate between glial cells and neurons has been proposed as one of the mechanisms involved in hypothalamic glucosensing. We have postulated that hypothalamic glial cells, also known as tanycytes, produce lactate by glycolytic ...

Tanycyte-Independent Control of Hypothalamic Leptin Signaling [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Leptin is secreted by adipocytes to regulate appetite and body weight. Recent studies have reported that tanycytes actively transport circulating leptin across the brain barrier into the hypothalamus, and are required for normal levels of hypothalamic ...

Tanycytes control the hormonal output of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis
Nature Communications, 2017 The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis regulates a wide range of physiological processes. Here the authors show that hypothalamic tanycytes play a role in the homeostatic regulation of the HPT axis; activation of TRH signaling in tanycytes ...

Estrogen receptor-α signaling in tanycytes lies at the crossroads of fertility and metabolism [PDF]
Metabolism: Clinical and Experimentalpeer reviewedEstrogen secretion by the ovaries regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis during the reproductive cycle, influencing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, and also plays a role in regulating ...

Modulation of fenestrated vasculature in the median eminence and area postrema in response to neurotoxin exposure and its impairment in aging [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging NeuroscienceEffective communication between the brain and peripheral tissues is crucial for homeostasis and health, and its impairment is a defining feature of aging. Circumventricular organs, characterized by the presence of fenestrated capillaries and absence of a
