Preclinical rodent models for human bone disease including a focus on cortical bone
We describe here how trabecular and cortical bone structure develop, are maintained, and degenerate with ageing in mice, rats, and humans, and how cortical bone structure is changed in preclinical models of endocrine conditions (e.g., postmenopausal osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, hyperparathyroidism, diabetes). We provide examples of preclinical models used to identify and test current therapies for osteoporosis, and discuss common concerns raised when comparing rodent preclinical models to the human skeleton. We focus especially on cortical bone, because it differs between small and larger mammals in its organizati...

Genetic and Epigenetic Landscape for Drug Development in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Endocr Rev. 2024 Jan 31:bnae002. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnae002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) faces challenges as all known treatments are merely symptomatic. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved any drug specifically for treating PCOS. As the significance of genetics and epigenetics rises in drug development, their pivotal insights have greatly enhanced the efficacy and success of drug target discovery and validation, offering promise for guiding the advancement of PCOS treatments. In this context, we outline the genetic and epigenetic advancement in ...

The Basis for Weekly Insulin Therapy: Evolving Evidence With Insulin Icodec and Insulin Efsitora Alfa
Endocr Rev. 2024 Jan 16:bnad037. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnad037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBasal insulin continues to be a vital part of therapy for many people with diabetes. First attempts to prolong the duration of insulin formulations were through the development of suspensions that required homogenization prior to injection. These insulins, which required once- or twice-daily injections, introduced wide variations in insulin exposure contributing to unpredictable effects on glycemia. Advances over the last 2 decades have resulted in long-acting, soluble basal insulin analogues with prolonged and less variable pharmac...

Imaging of Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas
Endocr Rev. 2024 Jan 11:bnae001. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnae001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPheochromocytomas/paragangliomas are unique in their highly variable molecular landscape driven by genetic alterations, either germline or somatic. These mutations translate into different clusters with distinct tumor locations, biochemical/metabolomic features, tumor cell characteristics (e.g. receptors, transporters) and disease course. Such tumor heterogeneity calls for different imaging strategies in order to provide proper diagnosis and follow-up. This also warrants selection of the most appropriate and locally available imagin...

The molecular biology of midgut neuroendocrine neoplasms
Endocr Rev. 2023 Dec 20:bnad034. doi: 10.1210/endrev/bnad034. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMidgut neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are one of the most common subtypes of NEN, and their incidence is rising globally. Despite being the most frequently diagnosed malignancy of the small intestine, little is known about their underlying molecular biology. Their unusually low mutational burden compared to other solid tumours, and the unexplained occurrence of multi-focal tumours makes the molecular biology of midgut NENs a particularly fascinating field of research. This review provides an overview of recent advances in the under...
