The human genome encodes 40 voltage-gated K+ channels (KV), which are involved in
diverse physiological processes ranging from repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action …

Recently published work and emerging research efforts have suggested that the olfactory
system is intimately linked with the endocrine systems that regulate or modify energy …

Characterization of the key cellular targets contributing to sustained microglial activation in
neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD), and optimal modulation of …

Hunger arouses sensory perception, eventually leading to an increase in food intake, but the
underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We found that cannabinoid type-1 (CB1) …

Food cues during fasting elicit Pavlovian conditioning to adapt for anticipated food intake.
However, whether the olfactory system is involved in metabolic adaptations remains elusive …

The role of insulin pathways in olfaction is of significant interest with the widespread
pathology of diabetes mellitus and its associated metabolic and neuronal comorbidities. The …

Background Although spinal cord injury (SCI) is a major cause of disability, current
therapeutic options remain limited. Recent progress in cellular therapy with mesenchymal …

Potassium channels are tetrameric membrane proteins that selectively conduct K+ across
cellular membranes. With 78 family members, K+ channels make up about half of the …

Currently, 65% of Americans are overweight, which leads to well-supported cardiovascular
and cognitive declines. Little, however, is known concerning obesity's impact on sensory …

The aim of the present review is to summarize and evaluate the different mechanisms and
catabolic mediators involved in cancer cachexia and ageing sarcopenia since they may …
