Functionally active modulators targeting the LRRK2 WD40 repeat domain identified by FRASE-bot in CACHE Challenge #1.

Critical Assessment of Computational Hit-Finding Experiments (CACHE) Challenges emerged as real-life stress tests for computational hit-finding strategies. In CACHE Challenge #1, 23 participants contributed their original workflows to identify small-molecule ligands for the WD40 repeat (WDR) of LRRK2, a promising Parkinson's target. We applied the FRASE-based hit-finding robot (FRASE-bot), a platform for interaction-based screening allowing a drastic reduction of the explorable chemical space and a concurrent detection of putative ligand-binding sites.

Outcomes of Importance to Patients Living With Cutaneous Chronic Graft-vs-Host Disease.

Importance: Cutaneous chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) is independently associated with morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. However, the health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) domains that are most important to patients are poorly understood.

Objective: To perform a concept elicitation study to define HRQOL in cutaneous chronic GVHD from the patient perspective and to compare experiences of patients with epidermal vs sclerotic disease.

Integrating Payor-Segregated Outpatient Obstetrics and Gynecology Care Models: The Patient Perspective.

Objective:  Significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal morbidity and mortality as well as gynecologic outcomes persist in the United States. The role of ambulatory care in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN), particularly in facilities that separate resident and attending care along payor (and de facto racial) lines, remains unclear. This study examines patient perspectives on payor-segregated health care delivery in an academic medical center (AMC) and opinions on possible integration.

Probe my Pathway (PmP): a portal to explore the chemical coverage of the human Reactome.

Deciphering pathway-phenotype associations is critical for a system-wide understanding of cells and the chemistry of life. An approach to reach this goal is to systematically modulate pathways pharmacologically. The targeted and controlled regulation of an increasing number of proteins is becoming possible, thanks to the growing list of chemical probes and chemogenomic compounds available to cell biologists, but no resource is available that directly maps these chemical tools on cellular pathways.

Skeptical reactions to breast cancer screening benefits and harms: Antecedents, consequences, and implications for screening communication.

Objective: When people receive information about the benefits and harms of mammography screening, they do not always accept it at face value and instead express skepticism. The purpose of this research was to identify the psychological drivers of this skepticism. Two theory-driven hypotheses were considered: One hypothesis proposes that skeptical reactions reflect a psychological defense against information that is emotionally aversive.
