This study shows that neural CXCR4 reduces atherosclerotic plaque formation in mice without affecting metabolism or immune cells, and identifies MIF-CXCR4 signaling in the PVN as a potential neuroimmune pathway in atherosclerosis.

This study shows that adenosine signaling in specific glia subtypes modulates metabolic state-dependent behavior in Drosophila by altering intracellular calcium levels.

This study shows that oxytocin and cholecystokinin pathways in hypothalamic neurons are critical for gut-to-brain feeding control, with their disruption leading to hyperphagic obesity.

This study shows that a hypercaloric diet causes temporary molecular changes in astrocytes specifically in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.

This study identifies AATBC as a human-specific lncRNA that regulates adipocyte plasticity and mitochondrial function, linking it to metabolic health.

This study shows that insulin receptors in astrocytes are necessary for brain uptake of circulating insulin and glucose.
