Topography of the GLP-1/GLP-1 receptor system in the spinal cord of male mice.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are now commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. GLP-1R signaling in the spinal cord has been suggested to account for the mild tachycardia caused by GLP-1R agonists, and may also be involved in the therapeutic effects of these drugs. However, the neuroanatomy of the GLP-1/GLP-1R system in the spinal cord is still poorly understood.

Candida albicans Enhances the Progression of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and .

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is associated with oral Candida albicans infection, although it is unclear whether the fungus promotes the genesis and progression of OSCC or whether cancer facilitates fungal growth. In this study, we investigated whether C. albicans can potentiate OSCC tumor development and progression.
