Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and temozolomide for unresectable pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. [PDF]
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are relatively rare tumors that arise in the endocrine cells of the pancreas. Historically, somatostatin analogues have been used in this disease primarily for symptom control and, to a limited extent, disease ...

Abstract. Ageing is followed by an involution of neuroendocrine functions, resulting in a decreased secretion of sex steroids and growth hormone. In addition, Cortisol secretion may be inadequately elevated upon stress challenges, due to deficient braking functions by central glucocorticoid receptors. In combination, these endocrine perturbations will

Increasing evidence indicates that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is one of the most important RNA regulators in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma (NB). Here, we found that FAM201A was low expressed in NB and a variety of gain and loss of function studies ...

The novel mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) induces antiproliferative effects in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells [PDF]
Background/Aim: Tumors exhibiting constitutively activated PI(3) K/Akt/mTOR signaling are hypersensitive to mTOR inhibitors such as RAD001 (everolimus) which is presently being investigated in clinical phase II trials in various tumor entities, including

Interpreting Neuroendocrine Hormones, Corticosterone, and Blood Glucose to Assess the Wellbeing of Anesthetized Rats during Euthanasia [PDF]
Current recommendations for assessing animal wellbeing during euthanasia suggest that measuring neuroendocrine hormones-such as ACTH, noradrenaline, and adrenaline-is preferable to measuring corticosterone and blood glucose because of the sensitivity of ...

Challenges in High-grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms and Mixed Neuroendocrine/Non-neuroendocrine Neoplasms [PDF]
AbstractThe growth in knowledge of the pathogenesis, molecular background, and immunohistochemical profile of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) has led not only to an increased awareness of these diseases but also to several changes of the nomenclature.
