Recent advancements in protein structure determination and especially in protein structure prediction techniques have led to the availability of vast amounts of macromolecular structures. However, the accessibility and integration of these structures into scientific workflows are hindered by the lack of standardization among publicly available data resources. To address this issue, we introduced the 3D-Beacons Network, a unified platform that aims to establish a standardized framework for accessing and displaying protein structure data.

Although emotion regulation deficits have been implicated in gambling disorder and ADHD, the interplay between these factors has yet to be systematically studied. We examined relationships between ADHD symptoms, emotion regulation, and gambling disorder severity in a sample of treatment-seeking gambling disorder patients ( = 98). We also examined clinical differences between patients with and without ADHD symptomatology.

Background: Impulsivity and cognitive distortions are hallmarks of gambling disorder (GD) but it remains unclear how they contribute to clinical phenotypes. This study aimed to (1) compare impulsive traits and gambling-related distortions in strategic versus non-strategic gamblers and online versus offline gamblers; (2) examine the longitudinal association between impulsivity/cognitive distortions and treatment retention and relapse.

Methods: Participants seeking treatment for GD (n = 245) were assessed for gambling modality (clinical interview), impulsive traits (Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance and Sensation Seeking [UPPS] scale) and cognitive distortions (Gambling Related Cognitions Scale) at treatment onset, and for retention and relapse (as indicated by the clinical team) at the end of treatment.
