Structural Basis of the Diversity of Adrenergic Receptors

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Adrenergic receptors are highly homologous while at the same time display a wide diversity of ligand and G-protein binding, and understanding this diversity is key for designing selective or biased drugs for them.

Elucidating biased signaling in class A GPCRs

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences
Biased signaling by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) occurs when ligands selectively activate G proteins or β-arrestins, offering therapeutic potential with fewer side effects. In class A GPCRs, which include the targets of approximately one-third of all marketed drugs, the structural basis of this selectivity remains unclear.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

The impossibility of non-signaling privacy amplification

, 2009
Barrett, Hardy, and Kent have shown in 2005 that protocols for quantum key agreement exist the security of which can be proven under the assumption that quantum or relativity theory is correct.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Ezrin, Radixin, and Moesin Phosphorylation in NIH3T3 Cells Revealed Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Cell-Type–Dependent Biased Signaling

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
.: β-Arrestin-biased agonists are a new class of drugs with promising therapeutic effects. The molecular mechanisms of β-arrestin-biased agonists are still not completely identified.

Pepducin-mediated cardioprotection via β-arrestin-biased β2-adrenergic receptor-specific signaling [PDF]

, 2018
Reperfusion as a therapeutic intervention for acute myocardial infarction-induced cardiac injury itself induces further cardiomyocyte death. β-arrestin (βarr)-biased β-adrenergic receptor (βAR) activation promotes survival signaling responses in vitro ...

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of single circulating tumor cells in the follow‐up of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Single circulating tumor cells (sCTCs) from high‐grade serous ovarian cancer patients were enriched, imaged, and genomically profiled using WGA and NGS at different time points during treatment. sCTCs revealed enrichment of alterations in Chromosomes 2, 7, and 12 as well as persistent or emerging oncogenic CNAs, supporting sCTC identity.

Locational signaling and agglomeration [PDF]

Agglomeration can be caused by asymmetric information and a locational signaling effect: The location choice of workers signals their productivity to potential employers. The cost of a signal is the cost of housing at a location.

PAR1 Agonists Stimulate APC-Like Endothelial Cytoprotection and Confer Resistance to Thromboinflammatory Injury [PDF]

, 2018
Stimulation of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) on endothelium by activated protein C (APC) is protective in several animal models of disease, and APC has been used clinically in severe sepsis and wound healing.
