Binding Interactions with the Complementary Subunit of Nicotinic Receptors [PDF]
The agonist-binding site of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) spans an interface between two subunits of the pentameric receptor. The principal component of this binding site is contributed by an α subunit, and it binds the cationic moiety of ...

Weight Loss‐Associated Remodeling of Adipose Tissue Immunometabolism
ABSTRACT Obesity is a multifactorial condition characterized by excessive adiposity and systemic chronic low‐grade inflammation. Recent literature reflects a growing appreciation for the complex interplay between metabolism and the immune system in the pathogenesis of obesity‐related health conditions.

Autoantibodies and Inflammation in Schizophrenia
The potential role of autoantibodies in the etiology of schizophrenia is a key research focus because growing evidence suggests an association between immune dysfunction and psychotic disorders. This hypothesis is supported by findings indicating immune‐related abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia, including chronic inflammation and genetic ...

Abstract Doppler ultrasound may be used to assess leg blood flow (Q̇leg${{\dot{Q}}_{{\mathrm{leg}}}}$), but the reliability of this method remains unexplored in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where between‐subject variability may be larger than healthy due to peripheral vascular changes.

Ectopic sodium channel expression decreases excitability of Drosophila Kenyon cells
Abstract figure legend: We tested the effects of expressing the bacterial voltage‐gated sodium channel NaChBac in the Kenyon cells of the Drosophila memory centre, the mushroom body. NaChBac expression decreases expression of endogenous voltage‐gated sodium channels (left), reduces action potential firing (upper) and prevents learning (lower). However,

ABSTRACT Background/Aim The aim of this evidence map is to provide a systematic overview of evidence‐based guidelines for the management of obesity and to highlight discrepancies between recommendations for the pediatric and adult populations. Knowing about these discrepancies may be relevant during the transition from pediatrics to adult healthcare to
