1. Somatostatin Receptor Expression and Biological Functions in Endocrine Pancreatic Cells
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes is resulting from the selective destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells within the pancreatic islets. Somatostatin acts as an inhibitor of hormone secretion through specific receptors (sst1-5). LÄS MER
2. Evolution of Vertebrate Endocrine and Neuronal Gene Families : Focus on Pituitary and Retina
Sammanfattning : The duplication of genes followed by selection is perhaps the most prominent way in which molecular biological systems gain multiplicity, diversity and functional complexity in evolution. Whole genome duplications (WGDs) therefore have the potential of generating an extraordinary amount of evolutionary innovation. LÄS MER
3. Theranostics in Neuroendocrine Tumors : Somatostatin Receptor Imaging and Therapy
Sammanfattning : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by cellular overexpression of somatostatin receptors (SSTR), which allows for the use of radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (SSA) for both imaging and therapy. Because NETs often are diagnosed at a metastatic stage, curative surgery is not possible. LÄS MER
4. Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms : Aspects of tumour characteristics, receptor recycling and peptide mass
Sammanfattning : Neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) can arise in any part of the body, but most commonly in the lungs, bronchi, and the gastrointestinal tract including the pancreas. They combine neuroendocrine and tissue-of-origin-specific characteristics; explaining different symptoms depending on the organ of origin. LÄS MER
5. Expression and localisation of somatostatin receptor subtype 2a in neuroendocrine cells and cells of neuroectodermal origin
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
