Melanotan-2 (MT-2) is a synthetic analog of the endogeously occurring alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), which has ...

A recent study has shown that frequent cold plunges can increase autophagy, maintaining cellular homeostasis and energy levels. Autophagy is the process by which cells breakdown and recycle damaged, ...

Homeostasis is the result of variables being regulated such that the internal environment remains stable and fairly constant even though the external environment varies. For example, in humans ...

Among the lesser-spotlighted roles of the immune system is how a particular T cell helps maintain homeostasis—fostering a balanced and stable metabolic environment—in fat cells. It's a role ...

This protein plays an important role in inflammatory and metabolic processes and contributes to cellular homeostasis. The discovery, described in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, could open up ...

It is involved in multiple biological processes so that the proper level of R-loop is crucial to cellular homeostasis. Despite its physiological function, dysregulation of the R-loop leads to DNA ...

The maintenance of bone homeostasis is a complex process that does not solely rely on the functions of the bone tissue itself. In fact, bone tissue is not an isolated entity; it is closely connected ...

We showed that REST/NRSF downregulates glutamatergic transmission in response to hyperactivity, thus contributing to neuronal homeostasis. However, whether GABAergic transmission is also implicated in ...

The circumventricular organs (CVOs) in the central nervous system (CNS) lack a vascular blood-brain barrier (BBB), creating communication sites for sensory or secretory neurons, involved in body ...
