Pharmacological Characterization of µ-Opioid Receptor Agonists with Biased G Protein or β-Arrestin Signaling, and Computational Study of Conformational Changes during Receptor Activation

Molecules, 2020
In recent years, G protein vs. β-arrestin biased agonism at opioid receptors has been proposed as an opportunity to produce antinociception with reduced adverse effects.

Biased agonism of GLP-1R and GIPR enhances glucose lowering and weight loss, with dual GLP-1R/GIPR biased agonism yielding greater efficacy

Cell Reports Medicine
Summary: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) agonists have recently been shown to play a significant role in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

Corrigendum: Signal Detection Measures Cannot Distinguish Perceptual Biases From Response Biases [PDF]

Perception, 2016
Owing to errors made by the authors, Jessica K. Witt, J. Eric T. Taylor, Mila Sugovic, and John T. Wixted, the main conclusion of the article was reached using the wrong formula. A reevaluation with the correct formula confirmed the main conclusion. Jessica K. Witt, J. Eric T. Taylor, Mila Sugovic, and John T. Wixted (2015)

Sex-biased TGFβ signalling in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Cardiovascular Research, 2023
AbstractPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare cardiovascular disorder leading to pulmonary hypertension and, often fatal, right heart failure. Sex differences in PAH are evident, which primarily presents with a female predominance and increased male severity.
