Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

Muscle Plasticity and β2-Adrenergic Receptors: Adaptive Responses of β2-Adrenergic Receptor Expression to Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy

open access: yesJournal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, 2011
We discuss the functional roles of β2-adrenergic receptors in skeletal muscle hypertrophy and atrophy as well as the adaptive responses of β2-adrenergic receptor expression to anabolic and catabolic conditions.

Enhancing patient stratification methods for medication review during acute admissions

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Medication review in the hospital is an effective tool for identifying inappropriate prescribing, but not every patient can receive one due to resource constraints. Thus, it is important to identify patients who stand to benefit most from medication review.

Structural insights into μ-opioid receptor activation

open access: yesNature, 2015
Activation of the μ-opioid receptor (μOR) is responsible for the efficacy of the most effective analgesics. To shed light on the structural basis for μOR activation, here we report a 2.1 Å X-ray crystal structure of the murine μOR bound to the morphinan ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
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).

Characterisation of AmphiAmR11, an amphioxus (Branchiostoma floridae) D2-dopamine-like G protein-coupled receptor.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The evolution of the biogenic amine signalling system in vertebrates is unclear. However, insights can be obtained from studying the structures and signalling properties of biogenic amine receptors from the protochordate, amphioxus, which is an ...

Nanodelivery of a functional membrane receptor to manipulate cellular phenotype. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Modification of membrane receptor makeup is one of the most efficient ways to control input-output signals but is usually achieved by expressing DNA or RNA-encoded proteins or by using other genome-editing methods, which can be technically challenging ...
