DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2017.11.062
Abstract: The proteins of Ly-6 (lymphocyte antigen-6) family are involved in the regulation of immunoreaction, cell migration and adhesion, and neuronal excitability. However, little is known about the function of Ly-6 proteins in embryogenesis. Herein, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2019.12.006
Abstract: Pineal gland calcification (PGC) has been associated with low melatonin production, a hormone with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuro-protective effects. Therefore, melatonin deficiency may play a role in the development of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2018.11.032
Abstract: A few magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies reported reduced pineal gland volume in chronic schizophrenia (Sz), implicating the involvement of melatonin in the pathophysiology of the illness. However, it is not known whether this abnormality,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2022/1103346
Abstract: We review the literature on the little-known roles of specific CaMKs in regulating endocrine functions of the pineal gland, the pituitary gland, and the hypothalamus. Melatonin activates hippocampal CaMKII, which then influences dendritogenesis. In the… read more here.
