Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
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).

An Efficient Thiol‐ene Mediated Protocol for Thiolated Peptide Synthesis and On‐Resin Diversification

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Herein, a sequential acyl‐thiol‐ene/S‐deacetylation protocol for selective installation of thiol residues onto synthetic peptides, on‐resin, is demonstrated. The hydrothiolation/S‐deacetylation protocol offers a novel synthetic tool for direct peptide conjugation on‐resin and for the preparation of novel disulfide containing neuropeptides displaying ...

EXPRESSION OF INSULIN, GLUCAGON, SOMATOSTATIN, AND PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE IN THE PANCREAS OF THE EURASIAN MOORHEN (Gallinula chloropus)

Slovenian Veterinary Research, 2023
The pancreas is a complex gland that possesses both endocrine and exo-crine functions. The present study investigated the gross anatomy, histochemical fea-tures, and immunohistochemical expression of insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, and pancreatic ...

Treatment options for PNET liver metastases. a systematic review [PDF]

, 2018
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare pancreatic neoplasms. About 40-80% of patients with PNET are metastatic at presentation, usually involving the liver (40-93%). Liver metastasis represents the most significant prognostic factor.

Loss of Glutamate Decarboxylase 67 in Somatostatin-Expressing Neurons Leads to Anxiety-Like Behavior and Alteration in the Akt/GSK3β Signaling Pathway

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent psychiatric disorder worldwide. Several lines of evidence suggest that the dysfunction of somatostatin (SOM) neurons is associated with the pathophysiology of MDD.

Human Pancreas GH-Releasing Factor Analog Restores High-Amplitude GH Pulses in CNS Lesion-Induced GH Deficiency [PDF]

, 1983
Lesions of the ventromedial-arcuate (VMH-ARC) region of the hypothalamus result in impaired growth accompanied by a marked suppression in spontaneous GH secretory bursts. We studied the effects of an analog of the recently characterized human pancreas GH-
