This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 2. The intricate interplay of plant hormones is pivotal in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, from seed ...

A new study shows vigorous exercise and fasting improve the ability of human and mouse cells to remove misfolded, toxic, unnecessary proteins. The findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism that ...

Pituitary tumors exhibit a spectrum of biology, with variable growth and hormonal behaviors. They therefore provide an opportunity to examine pathogenetic mechanisms that underlie the neoplastic ...

Researchers have long established that hormones significantly affect the brain, creating changes in emotion, energy levels, ...

Just as raging hormones are part of the process of a child's maturation through the teen years to adulthood, juvenile hormones, a group of insect isoprenoids, play an important role as butterflies, ...

Oxytocin is essential in activities of the social brain such as trust and love and in maternal bonding behaviors. It is produced in the brain and secreted into the circulation. Here, by analyzing ...

Juvenile hormone (JH) represses precocious metamorphosis of larval to pupal and adult transitions in holometabolous insects. The early JH-inducible gene Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1) plays a key role in ...

A team from the Institut Curie, Inserm, and CNRS[1] has uncovered a new molecular mechanism, previously unknown, linking estrogens (female sex hormones) to the worsening of certain cancers not ...

The development of the adenohypophysis is dependent on hormones for expansion of differentiated cell populations. Adenohypophysiotropic hormones that are produced by the hypothalamus and target organs ...

The body's ability to adapt to changing conditions and shifting physiologic demands is essential to survival. To do so, each cell must be able to dispose of damaged or unnecessary proteins--a ...
