Robust Estimation of the Weighted Average Treatment Effect for A Target Population [PDF]
The weighted average treatment effect (WATE) is a causal measure for the comparison of interventions in a specific target population, which may be different from the population where data are sampled from. For instance, when the goal is to introduce a new treatment to a target population, the question is what efficacy (or effectiveness) can be gained ...

Tryptophan‐Selective Chemical Modification of Peptides by Thioether‐Mediated Sulfenylation
A thioether‐mediated sulfenylation method based on 4‐fluorophenyl 3‐nitro‐2‐pyridinesulfenate (Npys‐OPh(pF)) is developed for Trp‐selective chemical modification. This sulfenylation proceeds under mild, metal‐free, and weakly acidic conditions and is broadly applicable to the chemical modification of various Trp‐containing peptides as well as the late ...

Glucagon Receptor Signaling and Lipid Metabolism
Glucagon is secreted from the pancreatic alpha cells upon hypoglycemia and stimulates hepatic glucose production. Type 2 diabetes is associated with dysregulated glucagon secretion, and increased glucagon concentrations contribute to the diabetic ...

Short amyloidogenic oligopeptides (APRs) are proposed as early macromolecules capable of forming solvent‐separated nanosystems under prebiotic conditions. This study provides experimental evidence that APRs, such as the aggregation‐prone oligopeptide A (APR‐A), can undergo mutational transitions to form distinct variants, and convert to APR‐B, either ...
