Abstract: Hypothalamic tanycytes are specialized bipolar ependymal cells that line the floor of the third ventricle. Given their strategic location, tanycytes are believed to play several key functions including being a selective barrier and controlling the… read more here.

Abstract: The regulation of sleep/wake behavior and energy-homeostasis is maintained in part by the lateral-hypothalamic (LH) neuropeptide orexin-A (OXA, hypocretin). Reduction in OXA-signaling is associated with sleep disorders and obesity, whereas higher OXA-signaling promotes obesity resistance.… read more here.
