Exogenous oral application of PYY and exendin-4 impacts upon taste-related behavior and taste perception in wild-type mice.

Several gut peptides have been implicated in feeding and body mass accumulation. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) have been shown to mediate satiety and reduce food intake. While systemic administration of such peptides has been explored as a therapy for metabolic disease, the effects of these hormones on taste signaling should also be considered given the importance of taste to feeding decisions and considering the fact that components of these signaling systems are expressed in cells of the peripheral gustatory system.

Purification and characterization of lectin from Phyllanthus reticulatus (PRL) plant fruit inducing cytotoxic effect on T47D and SKBR3 breast cancer cell lines.

Lectins are a heterogeneous group of carbohydrate-binding proteins that vary in size, structure, molecular organization, and binding patterns. They evoke diverse biological responses by specifically binding to cell surface glycans and function as recognition molecules. In this study, a lectin from the fruit of Phyllanthus reticulatus was purified using mucin-affinity chromatography.

Practical implementation of automated insulin delivery systems in 2025: A French position statement update.

The advent of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems in 2020 marked a disruptive event in managing type 1 diabetes, benefiting children and adults alike. By 2024, advances in real-world data and research motivated an update to the French consensus on AID systems to expand accessibility, refine guidelines, and optimize patient follow-up. AID systems have consistently improved glycemic control by reducing HbA1c, increasing time-in-range (TIR), and minimizing hypoglycemia, with significant benefits even for specific populations such as individuals with poor glycemic control, brittle diabetes, children, very young children, pregnant women, those with insulin resistance or gastroparesis, or after bariatric surgery.

Elderly Female with Cranial Polyneuropathy.

Unlabelled: The recrudescence of Varicella Zoster Virus in the head and neck region often manifests as Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, characterised by facial nerve palsy, vesicular rash in the distribution of facial nerve and neuralgia. Rarely it causes cranial polyneuropathy (CP). We present a case of herpes zoster with CP, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and management in a resource-limited setting.
