Our long-term research goal is to decipher the gene regulatory network that directs the embryonic development of various types of neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC, aka ARH).

Epigenetic events, such as methylation, during early brain development in mice occur in genomic regions associated with BMI in humans, according to a new study. Once it’s cleaved, the protein ...

Researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a ...

Reports suggest that at least 25% of ovarian disorders are due to dysfunction of the brain mechanism in the hypothalamus that controls the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is a molecule ...

Even after eating a large meal, most people can still find room for sweets. Now, research in mice shows that the neurons responsible for feelings of fullness are also those that trigger sugar cravings ...
