ABSTRACT Multiple muscarinic M4 receptor modulators are currently advancing in clinical development for the treatment of positive symptoms in schizophrenia, including agonists and positive allosteric modulators. Considering the importance of comprehending M4 receptor pharmacology for these therapeutic applications, this study investigates M4 receptor ...

Influence of cargo size on Ran and energy requirements for nuclear protein import [PDF]
Previous work has shown that the transport of some small protein cargoes through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) can occur in vitro in the absence of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis.

Multi‐Omic Analysis of Glutamate Excitotoxicity in Primary Neuronal Cultures
Our study on rat neuron cells found 250 μM glutamate to be toxic, causing neuron death. We identified genes in pathways linked to apoptosis, neuron plasticity, and cell signaling, along with proteins regulating the cell cycle and tumor proliferation.

Adiponectin and gastric fundus: A potential target for gut–brain axis dysfunctions
Abstract Adiponectin (ADPN) is a pleiotropic hormone produced by adipose tissue involved in the control of body weight, energy expenditure, and feeding behaviors. Alongside a central effect, ADPN acts on peripheral organs such as the stomach, where it can favor gastric fundus relaxation, reinforcing central satiety signals.

Inhibition of focal adhesion kinase autophosphorylation (Y397) in adipocytes is associated with reduced glucose uptake, likely via the disruptions of Arp2/3 and Rac1 activity, leading to impaired cytoskeletal remodeling and consequential impairment of GLUT4 translocation. B = binding, GTP = GTP‐loading, P = phosphorylation.

PDBrestore: A Free Web Interface for Processing and Fixing Protein Chains From Raw PDB Files
PDBrestore is a freely accessible web interface to repair raw PDB files fetched from the Protein Data Bank for molecular dynamics applications. The interface, with minimal end‐user intervention, repairs common PDB defects such as missing atoms, incomplete side chains, missing residues, non‐standard residue names or non‐standard atom labels, manages the

Chemical inhibition of K‐Ras posttranslational prenylation represents a promising strategy against aggressive cancers. A structure‐based design produces piperidine‐based peptidomimetics conjugated to cationic modules, effectively inhibiting FTase and GGTase I at single‐digit nanomolar concentrations.

RAB family gene expression in breast cancer cells under influence of paclitaxel [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of paclitaxel on RAB family of genes in primary breast cancer cell lines. The cancer breast cells obtained from 40 women during mastectomy were used to address this issue. The group included patients with
