Regulation of CXCR4 function by S1P1 through heteromerization

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background The trafficking of immune cells between lymphoid organs and circulation depends on gradients of CXCL12 and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), mediated through their cognate receptors C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and S1P receptor type 1 (

A Robust Deep Temporal Causal Discovery Platform for Single‐Cell Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
scTIGER2.0 is a deep‐learning framework that infers gene regulatory networks from single‐cell RNA sequencing data. By integrating correlation, pseudotime ordering, deep learning and bootstrap‐based significance testing, it reduces false positives and reveals directional gene interactions.

Orphan GPCRs and Neuromodulation [PDF]

Neuron, 2012
Most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) started as orphan GPCRs. Matching them to known neuromodulators led to the elucidation of the broad diversity of the neuroreceptor families. Moreover, orphan GPCRs have also been used as targets to discover novel neuromodulators.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Advances in the application of NMR to the study of GPCRs and ligand–GPCR interactions

Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery
GPCRs are targeted by nearly one-third of FDA-approved drugs and are therefore of great interest in drug discovery pursuits. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) builds upon our understanding of the structural biology of GPCRs by helping to identify dynamic facets of ligand engagement, activation, and G protein coupling, often through the identification of

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Dietary Artificial Sweeteners: From Chemical Transformation in Food to Gut Microbial Processing

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
This review article unites classical and recent findings on the stability of artificial sweeteners in food. The focus is on ten sweeteners approved in the European Union: their chemical stability during processing and storage, individual degradation products, and their interactions with the intestinal microbiota.
