Xanomeline/trospium chloride (COBENFY™), formerly KarXT, is a first-in-class, oral, fixed-dose muscarinic agonist/antagonist combination being developed for use in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease psychosis. Xanomeline is thought to confer efficacy by acting as an agonist at M and M muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain, and trospium chloride reduces the peripheral cholinergic adverse events associated with xanomeline. Xanomeline/trospium chloride received its first approval on 26 September 2024 in the USA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.

All-atom molecular dynamics (AAMD) is a computational technique that predicts the movement of particles based on the intermolecular forces acting on the system. It enables the study of biological systems at atomic detail, complements observations from experiments, and can help the selection of experimental targets. Here, we describe the applications of MD simulations to study the interaction between peripheral membrane proteins and lipid bilayers.

The pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has not been fully elucidated, and treatment options are limited. Currently, the main strategies for treating DPN are strict glycemic control and symptomatic pain relief. In this editorial, we comment on an article by Li which suggested that modulating the gut microbiota using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may be a promising strategy for alleviating DPN symptoms.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is driven by antigen-specific T cell responses targeting the joints. MacDonald et al. define the range of dendritic cell (DC) populations within joints of RA patients and highlight specific iDC3 and DC2 populations enriched in inflamed RA synovium that promote T cell activation as well as tolerogenic AXL DC2s in healthy synovium that are lost in RA.

Cholesterol is structurally distinct from other lipids, which confers it with singular roles in membrane organization and protein function. As a signaling molecule, cholesterol engages in discrete interactions with transmembrane, peripheral, and certain soluble proteins to control cellular responses. Accordingly, the cholesterol-protein interface is central to cholesterol-related diseases and is an essential consideration in drug design.
