Signaling Can Be Uncoupled from Imaging of the Somatostatin Receptor Type 2
Endogenous and exogenous somatostatin receptors are commonly targeted for imaging using radiopharmaceutical analogues of somatostatin. Ligand binding activates receptor-mediated signaling.

A Transgenic Rat for Investigating the Anatomy and Function of Corticotrophin Releasing Factor Circuits. [PDF]
Corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) is a 41 amino acid neuropeptide that coordinates adaptive responses to stress. CRF projections from neurons in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) to the brainstem are of particular interest for their role in ...

Staging metastatic urothelial cancer with Nectin‐4 imaging using Gallium‐68‐N188 PET/CT
Objective To quantify Nectin‐4 expression in tumour lesions using the Nectin‐4‐binding peptide Gallium‐68‐N188 and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in patients with advanced or metastasised urothelial cancer eligible for therapy with the Nectin‐4‐directed antibody–drug conjugate enfortumab vedotin, in combination with ...

Psilocybin as a novel treatment for chronic pain
Abstract Psychedelic drugs are under active consideration for clinical use and have generated significant interest for their potential as anti‐nociceptive treatments for chronic pain, and for addressing conditions like depression, frequently co‐morbid with pain.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Paltusotine versus octreotide: different effects on radioligand uptake in neuroendocrine tumours
Objective: Somatostatin receptor analogues are well-established in the treatment of metastatic gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs), especially for symptom control in patients with the carcinoid syndrome, and to control tumour growth.

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

Exploring Brain Parenchymal Changes in Acromegaly: Focus on White Matter Hyperintensities
ABSTRACT Introduction Acromegaly is a rare chronic disease caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone. Even with biochemical control, hormonal imbalance may lead to cerebral changes. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with acromegaly.
