Light at Night as an Environmental Endocrine Disruptor

April 26, 2021
Russart KLG, Nelson RJ. Light at night as an environmental endocrine disruptor. Physiol Behav. 2018 Jun 1;190:82-89. doi: 10.1016/j.physbeh.2017.08.029. Epub 2017 Sep 7. PMID: 28870443; PMCID: PMC5839924. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0031938417302743?via%3Dihub Abstract Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are often consequences of human activity; however, the effects of EEDs are not limited to humans. A primary focus over the past...

Light-entrained and brain-tuned circadian circuits regulate ILC3s and gut homeostasis

September 19, 2019
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1579-3 Abstract Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are major regulators of inflammation, infection, microbiota composition and metabolism1. ILC3s and neuronal cells have been shown to interact at discrete mucosal locations to steer mucosal defence2,3. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether neuroimmune circuits operate at an organismal level, integrating extrinsic environmental signals to orchestrate ILC3 responses....
