G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of cell surface receptors in humans. The binding and dissociation of ligands tunes the inherent conformational flexibility of these important drug targets towards distinct functional states. Here we show how to trigger and resolve protein-ligand interaction dynamics within the human adenosine A receptor.

Background: Information sharing and information privacy are important issues in mental health services. Yet the perspectives of Australians who access mental health services about these issues are poorly understood. This article addresses the research question: What are the concerns of people who use mental health services about the collection and use of their health information in mental health and related systems in Australia?

Methods: Participants were 16 people who had accessed mental health services and were involved in a series of co-design workshops as part of a larger study.

Photoisomerization of ligands is a key process in the field of photopharmacology. Thus, the kinetics and efficiency of this initial photoreaction are of great importance but can be influenced by the molecular environment of the binding pocket and the resulting confinement of the reaction pathway. In this study, we investigated the photoisomerization of an azobenzene derivative of the anti-Parkinson's drug istradefylline.

The ED is increasingly the first point of contact for people who have no alternative when they are in a mental health crisis. However, there is mounting evidence of inadequate and negative responses to mental health crises in the ED, which has been identified as a 'human rights flashpoint'. This paper presents the desired crisis support from people who have accessed the ED in a mental health crisis and offers significant opportunities to use lived experience knowledge to reshape crisis care.

Article Synopsis
  • The hypothalamus plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis and is central to energy, glucose regulation, and reproduction through its arcuate nucleus (ARC).
  • Researchers developed a robotic cell culture platform to convert human pluripotent stem cells into specific neuronal types with ARC-like characteristics, showing potential for studying metabolic disorders.
  • This new model demonstrates responsiveness to hormones and neuropeptides, indicating its usefulness for disease research and understanding the dynamic regulation of related pathways, such as those involved in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
