Pathogenic variants in valosin-containing protein (VCP) cause multisystem proteinopathy (MSP), a disease characterized by multiple clinical phenotypes including inclusion body myopathy, Paget’s disease of the bone, and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). How such diverse phenotypes are driven by pathogenic VCP variants is not known. We found that these diseases exhibit a common pathologic feature: ubiquitinated intranuclear inclusions affecting myocytes, osteoclasts, and neurons.

Over the last few months, I have gained weight, and I needed to lose it. The weight gain was intentional, as I was attempting to add muscle mass. But I overshot. Not by a huge amount, but I ended up about 5 kg (11 lbs) over where I was six months ago. Sure, some of that was muscle mass but by no means all of it. I needed to drop some of that excess weight, so what did I do?

The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) regulates GABA release from agouti-related protein (AgRP) nerve terminals and thus tonically suppresses multiple circuits involved in feeding behavior and energy homeostasis. Here, we examined the role of the MC3R and the melanocortin system in regulating the response to various anorexigenic agents. The genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of the MC3R, or subthreshold doses of an MC4R agonist, improved the dose responsiveness to glucagon-like peptide
