Potassium channels regulate membrane potential, calcium flux, cellular activation and effector functions of adaptive and innate immune cells. The voltage-activated Kv1.3 channel is an important regulator of T cell-mediated autoimmunity and microglia-mediated neuroinflammation.

The calcium-activated K3.1 channel plays a crucial role in T-cell immune response. Genetic manipulation of T-cells to upregulate the expression of K channels has been shown to boost T-cell cytotoxicity in cancer.

Introduction: Sociodemographic factors such as parental education level (ED) influence the physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) of primary school-aged children. In this context, family factors, such as the physical activity-related Family Health Climate (FHC), are relevant. However, the effect of FHC on the interaction between ED and children's activity behavior has not yet been investigated.

Background: Riluzole exhibits neuroprotective and therapeutic effects in several neurological disease models associated with excessive synaptic glutamate (Glu) release. We recently showed riluzole prevents acute excitotoxic hippocampal neural injury at 3 days in the kainic acid (KA) model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Currently, it is unknown if preventing acute neural injury and the neuroinflammatory response is sufficient to suppress epileptogenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Structure-based virtual screening is essential in early drug discovery, relying on accurate predictions of how compounds bind to targets.
  • The new method, RosettaVS, improves prediction accuracy by incorporating receptor flexibility and outperforms existing approaches, resulting in successful hits in screening multi-billion compound libraries.
  • Using this platform, the study identified multiple promising compounds for two different protein targets, with validation achieved through high-resolution X-ray crystallography, confirming the method’s effectiveness in finding new drug leads.
