Melatonin Suppresses Colorectal Cancer Alongside Coordinated Changes in H3K4me3Q5ser and m 6 A Modifications
Melatonin has demonstrated antitumor activity in various cancer models, but its effects may depend on the therapeutic dose and cellular environment. We found that melatonin at millimolar concentrations significantly downregulated transgl...

Melatonin Coordinates Root Cell‐Wall Zinc Remobilization and Shoot Transport via Nitric Oxide Signaling Under Zinc Deficiency in Rice
Although zinc (Zn) deficiency severely inhibits rice growth, it remains unclear how melatonin (MT) promotes adaptation under conditions of insufficient Zn supply. To address this issue, rice seedlings were treated with MT, the NO donor s...

MRI Visualization of Melatonin‐Promoted Oligodendrogenesis and Its Neuroprotective Effects in Preterm White Matter Injury Rat Model
Preterm white matter injury (PWMI) is a serious neurologic condition that threatens neonatal survival and severely impairs the cognitive and motor development of affected children. Melatonin (Mel), a neuroendocrine hormone with anti‐infl...

Influence of Intravenous Norepinephrine Administration on Melatonin Plasma Concentration in Awake and Anaesthetised Healthy Adult Volunteers
Melatonin (MEL) is an endogenous hormone that regulates circadian rhythm, immune function and oxidative stress responses. Norepinephrine (NE), an endogenous catecholamine, increases blood pressure through the sympathetic nervous system a...

OsCSA Acts as an Upstream Activator of OsCOMT12 to Positively Regulate Copper Stress Tolerance in Rice
Melatonin (MT) is a secondary metabolite that plays a role in environmental stress response in plants. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which MT alleviates excessive copper (Cu) toxicity in rice ( Oryza sativa ) rem...

Multi‐Omics Analysis Provides Insights Into the Molecular Mechanism of Melatonin‐Mediated Cadmium Tolerance in Populus tomentosa
Cadmium (Cd) contamination, a major constraint on plant growth, causes a serious threat to ecological safety. Populus tomentosa is a promising woody species for Cd phytoremediation, but the mechanism of Cd phytoremediation by melatonin (...

Melatonin Alleviates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy by Inhibiting Cellular Senescence via Activation of the MT2/SIRT1/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most severe cardiovascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), yet effective treatment strategies remain lacking. Cellular senescence is a principal risk factor for multiple cardiovascular...

Melatonin Inhibits Metastasis of Sunitinib‐Resistant Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells Via the GRP78/p38/CTSD Expression
Sunitinib resistance contributes to poor outcomes in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This study investigated the anti‐metastatic effects and underlying mechanisms of melatonin in sunitinib‐resistant (SR)‐RCC. Melatonin significantly...
