G Protein‐Coupled Receptor Signaling: Implications and Therapeutic Development Advances in Cancers
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the dynamic protein family in the human genome. GPCR dysregulation aids in the advancement of cancer through increased migration, survival, and proliferation. Novel treatments that target GPCR signaling include orthosteric ligands, biased receptor mutants, PROTACs, and antibody–drug conjugates.

Clinical Significance of Skeletal Fat‐to‐Muscle Ratio in Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the fat‐to‐muscle ratio (FMR) and insulin resistance (IR) with aldosterone production among patients with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). Methods Patients with primary aldosteronism were screened from those with secondary hypertension and then subtyped via ...

ABSTRACT Paediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumours are the second most common childhood malignancy and the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality in this age group. Histopathological diagnosis can be challenging, particularly for rare or ambiguous tumours, and may result in misclassification.

Somatostatin receptors in gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours [PDF]
Five somatostatin receptor (sst) subtype genes, sst(1), sst(2), sst(3), sst(4) and sst(5), have been cloned and characterised. The five sst subtypes all bind natural somatostatin-14 and somatostatin-28 with high affinity.

Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

Down-regulation of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1 by somatostatin receptor subtype 5: a novel mechanism for inhibition of cellular proliferation and insulin secretion by somatostatin [PDF]
Somatostatin (SST) is a regulatory peptide and acts as an endogenous inhibitory regulator of the secretory and proliferative responses of target cells. SST's actions are mediated by a family of seven transmembrane domain G protein-coupled receptors that ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Secreting Vesicle Biogenesis and Secretion in Chronic Degenerative Diseases [PDF]
Regulated trafficking and secretion of insulin by the β cell of the endocrine pancreas is critical to maintain our body energy homeostasis. Disruption of these processes typically leads to hyperglycemia and the complications of diabetes.
