The novel mu-opioid antagonist, GSK1521498, reduces ethanol consumption in C57BL/6J mice. [PDF]
RATIONALE Using the drinking-in-the-dark (DID) model, we compared the effects of a novel mu-opioid receptor antagonist, GSK1521498, with naltrexone, a licensed treatment of alcohol dependence, on ethanol consumption in mice.

Mapping the effectiveness of nature‐based solutions for climate change adaptation
We present the first global systematic map of the effectiveness of nature‐based solutions (NbS) for addressing the impacts of climate change and hydrometeorological hazards on people. We found that most studies on NbS interventions in natural or semi‐natural ecosystems reported reduced climate impacts and that, overall, more synergies than trade‐offs ...

The therapeutic potential of allosteric ligands for free fatty acid sensitive GPCRs [PDF]
G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most historically successful therapeutic targets. Despite this success there are many important aspects of GPCR pharmacology and function that have yet to be exploited to their full therapeutic potential.

Can aggregate quarry silt lagoons provide resources for wading birds? [PDF]
Wading birds have declined across Europe as the intensification of lowland agriculture has resulted in the loss and degradation of wetland areas. Lowland aggregate extraction sites that incorporate areas of fine, waste sediments deposited in silt lagoons

Treatment of type 2 diabetes by free fatty acid receptor agonists [PDF]
Dietary free fatty acids (FFAs), such as ω-3 fatty acids, regulate metabolic and anti-inflammatory processes, with many of these effects attributed to FFAs interacting with a family of G protein-coupled receptors.

Structure of a shark IgNAR antibody variable domain and modeling of an early‐developmental isotype [PDF]
AbstractThe new antigen receptor (IgNAR) antibodies from sharks are disulphide bonded dimers of two protein chains, each containing one variable and five constant domains. Three types of IgNAR variable domains have been discovered, with Type 3 appearing early in shark development and being overtaken by the antigen‐driven affinity‐matured Type 1 and 2 ...
