Newest firstAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder where age, genetic factors and sleep disturbance significantly influence disease risk. Recent genome-wide association studies identified a C/T missense variant (rs141749679) in the sortilin (SORT1) gene linked to heightened AD risk, revealing SORT1's role as a key player in the disease's pathophysiology. This type I membrane glycoprotein is implicate…
Open article record in new tab ↗Light entrains the master circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) predominantly through glutamatergic signaling via NMDA receptors. The magnitude and the direction of resulting phase shifts depend on timing of the photic stimulus. Previous reports based on behavioral and electrophysiological data suggested that endocannabinoids (EC) might reduce the ability of the SCN clock to respond to light. Howeve…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose The diurnal cycling of intraocular pressure (IOP) was first described in humans more than a century ago. This cycling is preserved in other species. The physiologic underpinning of this diurnal variation in IOP remains a mystery, even though elevated pressure is indicated in most forms of glaucoma, a common cause of blindness. Once identified, the system that underlies diurnal variation would represent a n…
