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).

Abstract Background and Purpose Several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to homodimerise. Dimeric GPCRs may have different properties from their monomers, but the molecular basis and functional significance of GPCR dimerisation remain largely unknown.

Preliminary Study of Radioiodination of VP2
The VP2 peptide specifically binding to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor 1(VPAC1) receptor was radioiodinated with 131I by bi-functional linker N-succinimidyl 5-(tributylstannyl)-3-pyridinecarboxylate (SPC), and in vitro and in vivo stability ...

An Overview of VPAC Receptors in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Biological Role and Clinical Significance
The axis comprised by the Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) and its G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), VPAC1, and VPAC2, belong to the B1 family and signal through Gs or Gq proteins.

The thera(g)nostic approach with somatostatin analog‐based agents extends beyond gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Understanding tumor biological mechanisms is essential for optimizing treatment strategies. Abstract First isolated by Brazeau et al. in 1972, somatostatin (SST) is a neuropeptide known for regulating various signaling pathways

Neuropeptide Receptors: Novel Targets for HIV/AIDS Therapeutics
The vasoactive intestinal peptide/pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating polypepetide (VPAC) receptors are important for many physiologic functions, including glucose homeostasis, neuroprotection, memory, gut function, modulation of the immune system and ...
