The nine human NR3 nuclear receptors translate steroid hormone signals in transcriptomic responses and operate multiple highly important processes ranging from development over reproductive tissue function to inflammatory and metabolic homeostasis. Although several NR3 ligands such as glucocorticoids are invaluable drugs, this family is only partially explored, for example, in autoimmune diseases and neurodegeneration, but may hold therapeutic potential in new areas. Here we report a chemogenomics (CG) library to reveal elusive effects of NR3 receptor modulation in phenotypic settings. 34 highly annotated and chemically diverse ligands covering all NR3 receptors were selected considering complementary modes of action and activity, selectivity and lack of toxicity. Endoplasmic reticulum stress resolving effects of N3 CG subsets in proof-of-concept application validate suitability of the set to connect phenotypic outcomes with targets and to explore NR3 receptors from a translational perspective.

Penile diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in a young man.

Here, we present the case of a young man active-duty service member diagnosed with stage IE penile diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), germinal centre B-cell (GCB) subtype. Primary penile DLBCL is an exceptionally rare condition, with fewer than 30 cases reported in the medical literature. Notably, this patient is significantly younger than the typical demographic, as extranodal DLBCL affecting the penis usually occurs in elderly men, with a median age of 69 years at diagnosis.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a devastating X-linked disorder caused by dystrophin gene mutations. Despite recent advances in understanding the disease etiology and applying emerging treatment methodologies, glucocorticoid derivatives remain the only general therapeutic option that can slow disease development. However, the precise molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid action remains unclear, and there is still need for additional remedies to complement the treatment.

Aging involves the progressive accumulation of cellular damage, leading to systemic decline and age-related diseases. Despite advances in medicine, accurately predicting biological age (BA) remains challenging due to the complexity of aging processes and the limitations of current models. This study introduces a method for predicting BA using a deep neural network (DNN) based on pathways of steroidogenesis.
