Brainstem GLP-1 neurons modulate physiological satiation and drive sustained weight loss in obese mice
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) activation in the brain strongly reduces appetite, but most brain GLP-1Rs are not accessible for systemicall…

Intestinal macrophages modulate synucleinopathy along the gut–brain axis - Nature
Muscularis macrophages, housekeepers of enteric nervous system integrity and intestinal homeostasis, modulate α-synuclein pathology and neurodegeneration in models of Parkinson’s disease, and understanding the accompanying mechanisms could pave the way for early-stage biomarkers.

Brain-Derived GLP-1—Understanding the Physiological Function and Anti-obesity Potential of Preproglucagon Neurons
Abstract. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is produced within the central nervous system (CNS) by preproglucagon (PPG) neurons. This brain-derived GLP-1, ra
