Each gene in CENTRA comes with its own radar plot visualizing key topological properties: 📡 Centrality 🌿 Local fractality 🛡️ Robustness Perfect for comparing genes across different biomedical topics.

To be honest, when I see conferences announced that have a majority of male invited speakers, I think the organisers are not trying hard enough. We have so many excellent #FemalesinMS and resources available there is really no excuse for it anymore #massspec #teammassspec #lipidomics #metabolomics

Transient ligand contacts of the intrinsically disordered N-terminus of neuropeptide Y2 receptor regulate arrestin-3 recruitment - Nature Communications

Kaiser et al. characterize the disordered extracellular N-terminus of a peptide-activated G protein-coupled receptor. They combine biophysical, biochemical, and computational methods to uncover its role in the activation of G protein and arrestin pathways.

🧪This works impressively demonstrates the power of integrated approaches to gain important structural insights into GPCRs. XL-MS, biochemical assays, and MD simulations were combined in this study. #pharmsky #chemsky #GPCR

Self-cleavage of the GAIN domain of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors requires multiple domain-extrinsic factors - Nature Communications

The GAIN domain of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors, a class of biological mechanosensors, was thought to be sufficient for its self-cleavage. Here, the authors show that the event also depends on the seven-transmembrane region of the receptors.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.
