Detection of somatostatin receptors in human osteosarcoma [PDF]
Background The location of osteosarcoma in the metaphysis as well as the age of the patients during the most rapid tumour growth suggest that factors related to skeletal growth are involved in the pathogenesis of this tumour.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are heterogeneous neoplasms which arise from neuroendocrine cells that are distributed widely throughout the body. Although heterogenous, many of them share their ability to overexpress somatostatin receptors (SSTR) on ...

Aberrant location of inhibitory synaptic marker proteins in the hippocampus of dystrophin-deficient mice [PDF]
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a neuromuscular disease that arises from mutations in the dystrophin-encoding gene. Apart from muscle pathology, cognitive impairment, primarily of developmental origin, is also a significant component of the disorder.

Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates endocrine systems by binding to G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors. Somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) is a human somatostatin receptor and is highly implicated in hormone disorders, cancers, and ...

Molecular targets in acromegaly
Molecular therapeutic targets in growth hormone (GH)-secreting adenomas range from well-characterized surface receptors that recognize approved drugs, to surface and intracellular markers that are potential candidates for new drug development.

Somatostatin and somatostatin receptors in retinal diseases [PDF]
Somatostatin is a small neuropeptide that is producedin the central nervous system, where it acts as aneurotransmitter. This neuropeptide also has animportant role in the neuroendocrine system as aninhibitor of hormone release, the most strikingexample of which is the inhibition of growth hormonerelease.

Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]
Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among

Versatile Functions of Somatostatin and Somatostatin Receptors in the Gastrointestinal System
Somatostatin (SST) and somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) play an important role in the brain and gastrointestinal (GI) system. SST is produced in various organs and cells, and the inhibitory function of somatostatin-containing cells is involved in a range ...

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...
