New insights of SF1 neurons in hypothalamic regulation of obesity and diabetes
(MDPI, 2021)
Despite the substantial role played by the hypothalamus in the regulation of energy balance and glucose homeostasis, the exact mechanisms and neuronal circuits underlying this regulation remain poorly ...
Polyphosphate degradation by Nudt3-Zn2+ mediates oxidative stress response
(Elsevier, 2021)
Polyphosphate (polyP) is a polymer of hundreds of phosphate residues present in all organisms. In mammals, polyP is involved in crucial physiological processes, including coagulation, inflammation, and ...
Hypothalamic endocannabinoids in obesity: an old story with new challenges
(Springer, 2021)
The crucial role of the hypothalamus in the pathogenesis of obesity is widely recognized, while the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms involved are the focus of intense research. A disrupted ...
Hypothalamic regulation of obesity
(MDPI, 2021)
Obesity has now reached pandemic proportions and represents a major socioeconomic and health problem in our societies. Up to now, obesity has been considered a medical issue only in high-income countries, ...
The return of malonyl-CoA to the brain: cognition and other stories
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
Nutrients, hormones and the energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) tightly regulate the intracel-lular levels of the metabolic intermediary malonyl-CoA, which is a precursor of fatty ...
Sonochemical coating of Prussian Blue for the production of smart bacterial-sensing hospital textiles
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
In healthcare facilities, environmental microbes are responsible for numerous infections leading to patient’s health complications and even death. The detection of the pathogens present on contaminated ...
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C negatively regulates the endocannabinoid hydrolase ABHD6 in mice, depending on nutritional status
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-01)
Background and Purpose: The enzyme α/β‐hydrolase domain containing 6 (ABHD6), a new member of the endocannabinoid system, is a promising therapeutic target against neuronal‐related diseases. However, ...
