Understanding the intricate interplay between structural features and signal-processing events is crucial for unravelling the mechanisms of biomolecular systems. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a pervasive protein family in humans, serve a wide spectrum of vital functions. TAS2Rs, a subfamily of GPCRs, play a primary role in recognizing bitter molecules and triggering events leading to the perception of bitterness, a crucial defence mechanism against spoiled or poisonous food.

The success of cancer immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T-cells and immune cell engagers have provided clinicians with tools to bypass some of the limitations of cancer immunity. However, numerous tumour factors curtail the immune response against cancer and limit the efficiency of immuno-oncology (IO) therapies. Acidification of the extra-cellular tumour environment consecutive to aberrant cancer cell metabolism is a well-known promoter of oncogenic processes that also acts as an immune regulator.

Astrocytes are morphologically complex cells that serve essential roles. They are widely implicated in central nervous system (CNS) disorders, with changes in astrocyte morphology and gene expression accompanying disease. In the Sapap3 knockout (KO) mouse model of compulsive and anxiety-related behaviors related to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), striatal astrocytes display reduced morphology and altered actin cytoskeleton and Gi-G-protein-coupled receptor (Gi-GPCR) signaling proteins.

Idecabtagene vicleucel (Ide-cel) has demonstrated excellent efficacy and durable responses in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, the outcomes with ide-cel in patients with extramedullary disease (EMD) remain incompletely characterized. We included patients with RRMM treated with ide-cel between May 2021 and April 2023 across 11 US academic institutions.
