Steroid Recognition in Adhesion GPCRs: A Structural and Pharmacological Perspective

open access: yesPharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Emerging evidence suggests steroids may act as generalizable ligands for adhesion GPCRs, a receptor class with considerable pharmacological potential. While most studies have focused on the ADGR‘G' subfamily, recent cryo‐EM structures of the androgens 5α‐dihydrotestosterone (5α‐DHT) and methenolone bound to ADGRD1 revealed a putative steroid ...

Intersections of vitamin D deficiency, HIV and chronic liver diseases

open access: yesHIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 4-17, January 2026.
Abstract Objectives Despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), chronic liver diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among people with HIV, with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) now the predominant etiology. Vitamin D deficiency is also highly prevalent in this population.

Nutritional Deficiencies Following Bariatric Surgery: A Rapid Systematic Review of Case Reports of Vitamin and Micronutrient Deficiencies Presenting More Than Two Years Post‐Surgery

open access: yesClinical Obesity, Volume 15, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Bariatric surgery is the most clinically‐ and cost‐effective intervention for severe obesity. However, without adequate follow‐up, it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Patients require life‐long nutritional supplements and follow‐up to prevent nutritional deficiencies from developing.
