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 ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond ...

Scientists found that the hormone secretoneurin helps key reproductive brain cells develop by being delivered between neurons in tiny exosomes. This mechanism, seen in fish and mice, could help ...

A hormone called FGF21 can reverse obesity in mice by activating a newly identified brain circuit tied to metabolism. Surprisingly, it works in the hindbrain—the same region targeted by GLP-1 drugs ...

For example, right before females ovulate — when estrogen reaches its peak — they tend to be more physically active. The ...

When faced with harsh growing conditions, the energy plants typically expend on growth gets delegated towards a stress response induced by disease, salty soils and extreme weather. And according to a ...

In this international study, the scientists showed that one of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptors – GPR133 – is activated by the androgenic steroid hormone 5α-DHT. Created in BioRender. In this ...

In a recent study published in the Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology journal, researchers assessed the impact of hormonal contraceptives (HC) on the brain and stress. Hormonal contraceptives have ...

CDK 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) remain part of the standard first-line treatment for patients with hormone receptor–positive metastatic breast cancer, offering demonstrable improvements in both ...

Researchers at the University of Ottawa and the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a new role for reproductive hormone secretoneurin (SN) and, for the first ...
