Prolactin Regulates Seasonal Changes in Renal Rheostasis in Djungarian Hamsters Abstract. Seasonal changes in photoperiod regulate multiple physiological systems in vertebrates, including metabolism, reproduction, and immune function.

Excited to share Sayantan's latest publication! The group found prolactin enhanced N-cadherin expression in the convoluted tubules and increased kidney volume. The findings show water stability is regulated by prolactin.

A labour of love. Congrats to Calum & colleagues for 6 years of research being recognized by their publication in eLife. The groups discovered that the gene DIO3 is essential for circannual timing in mammals. Work funded by @leverhulme.ac.uk

A tiny Victorian ceramic marmalade jar containing forget me nots from my garden

For an extra burst dopamine from my photo below look for the 6-petalled forget me not. If you have f-m-n in your garden look closely at the centres of the flowers. If they’re yellow they contain nectar,but when they’ve been pollinated they fade to white-tiny bees know which flowers have a snack in 🐝

Oxytocin, a hormone with well-established social effects, has garnered significant attention as a potential treatment for neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly autism. But can intranasal oxytocin truly reach the brain? This question lies at the heart of a major scientific controversy for the pa Intranasal Oxytocin: Passing or not passing the blood brain barrier, that is the question.
