Abstract Aims Paltusotine is a novel, nonpeptide, selective somatostatin receptor 2 agonist in development for the treatment of acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome. This study investigated the mass balance, routes of excretion, absolute bioavailability and metabolite profile of orally administered paltusotine.

Somatostatin and Somatostatin-Containing Interneurons—From Plasticity to Pathology
Despite the obvious differences in the pathophysiology of distinct neuropsychiatric diseases or neurodegenerative disorders, some of them share some general but pivotal mechanisms, one of which is the disruption of excitation/inhibition balance.

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Development of extrahepatic bile ducts and mechanisms of tumorigenesis: Lessons from mouse models
Abstract The biliary system is a highly branched tubular network consisting of intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBDs) and extrahepatic bile ducts (EHBDs). IHBDs are derived from hepatic progenitor cells, while EHBDs originate directly from the endoderm through a separate branching morphogenetic process.

Tryptophan‐Selective Chemical Modification of Peptides by Thioether‐Mediated Sulfenylation
A thioether‐mediated sulfenylation method based on 4‐fluorophenyl 3‐nitro‐2‐pyridinesulfenate (Npys‐OPh(pF)) is developed for Trp‐selective chemical modification. This sulfenylation proceeds under mild, metal‐free, and weakly acidic conditions and is broadly applicable to the chemical modification of various Trp‐containing peptides as well as the late ...
