Tanycytes are specialized glial cells within the mediobasal hypothalamus that have multiple functions, including hormone sensing and regulation of hypophysiotropic hormone secretion. There are ongoing discussions about the role of tanycytes in regulating the supply of hypothalamic thyroid hormones (THs) through the expression of TH transporters (, ) and deiodinases (, ). In this study, we investigated the potential feedback effect of thyrotropin (TSH) on the transcription of these gatekeeper genes on tanycytes.

- - COVID-19 can harm small blood vessels in the brain, leading to various neurological symptoms and structural changes in patients.
- - Researchers found that SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to empty basement membrane tubes, known as string vessels, indicating capillary loss, and that the virus infects brain endothelial cells.
- - The study proposes that targeting RIPK, a key molecule involved in cell death, could be a new treatment strategy to combat the brain damage associated with COVID-19.
Objectives: Infections, cancer, and systemic inflammation elicit anorexia. Despite the medical significance of this phenomenon, the question of how peripheral inflammatory mediators affect the central regulation of food intake is incompletely understood. Therefore, we have investigated the sickness behavior induced by the prototypical inflammatory mediator IL-1β.
