Somatostatin/somatostatin receptor signalling: Phosphotyrosine phosphatases [PDF]
Activation of phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) by somatostatin receptor (SSTR) represents one of the main intracellular mechanisms involved in the antiproliferative effect of somatostatin (SST) and analogues. Since their molecular cloning, the role of PTPs is emerging as a major regulator of different cell functions including cell proliferation ...

Abstract Objective Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a developmental malformation of the cerebral cortex and a leading cause of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children and young adults. Disruption of the excitation–inhibition (E–I) balance is a hallmark of neuronal hyperexcitability in FCD, yet the underlying synaptic ultrastructural changes remain poorly ...

Synchronous primary papillary breast cancer, medullary thyroid carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumor in postmenopausal woman. [PDF]
Multiple endocrine neoplasia are syndromes involving two or more endocrine tissues, often correlated to RET proto-oncogene mutations. We herein present the first reported case of a 57-years-old woman with three synchronous primary cancers of breast ...

The total synthesis of the octacosapeptide corresponding to the proposed primary structure of porcine somatostatin-28, a possible precursor of somatostatin, is described. The primary structure of somatostatin-28 corresponds to that of somatostatin elongated at the N-terminus by a tetradecapeptide sequence.

Abstract Objective Neuropeptides have garnered great interest as potential treatments for epilepsy due to their impact on neuronal excitability through modulation of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptor activity. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36‐amino acid neuropeptide that is expressed primarily by γ‐aminobutyric acidergic (GABAergic) interneurons ...

Neocortical neurogenesis: a proneural gene perspective
The neocortex is a mammalian‐specific brain region responsible for higher‐order cognitive functioning that shares fundamental similarities across species, but which is larger and more complex in humans. Proneural genes, encoding basic helix–loop–helix transcription factors (TFs), are evolutionarily conserved drivers of neurogenesis from fly to human ...

The use of octreotide in pediatric patients: Practical applications for gastrointestinal disorders and beyond: A narrative review. [PDF]
Abstract Somatostatin is a naturally occurring polypeptide hormone that exerts its effect on the gastrointestinal tract by reducing exocrine and endocrine secretion, resulting in decreased motility, gastric emptying, splanchnic blood flow, fat absorption, lymphatic flow, and gallbladder contraction.
