Cancer as a homeostatic challenge: the role of the hypothalamus

September 25, 2021
Francis N, Borniger JC. Cancer as a homeostatic challenge: the role of the hypothalamus. Trends Neurosci. 2021 Sep 21:S0166-2236(21)00167-3. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2021.08.008. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 34561122. Abstract The initiation, progression, and metastatic spread of cancer elicits diverse changes in systemic physiology. In this way, cancer represents a novel homeostatic challenge to the host system....

Chapter 21 – Retina and melanopsin neurons

July 9, 2021
La Morgia C, Carelli V, Sadun AA. Retina and melanopsin neurons. Handb Clin Neurol. 2021;179:315-329. doi: 10.1016/B978-0-12-819975-6.00020-0. PMID: 34225972. Abstract Melanopsin retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) are the third class of retinal photoreceptors with unique anatomical, electrophysiological, and biological features. There are different mRGC subtypes with differential projections to the brain. These cells contribute to many...

The physiological significance of the circadian dynamics of the HPA axis: Interplay between circadian rhythms, allostasis and stress resilience.

November 17, 2019
Horm Behav. 2019 Apr;110:77-89. doi: 10.1016/j.yhbeh.2019.02.018. Epub 2019 Mar 15. Abstract Circadian time-keeping mechanisms preserve homeostasis by synchronizing internal physiology with predictable variations in the environment and temporally organize the activation of physiological signaling mechanisms to promote survival and optimize the allocation of energetic resources. In this paper, we highlight the importance of the robust circadian...
