Structural Basis of GPCR-Effector Coupling Specificity: Insights from Ligand-Biased Agonism Elena V. Richardson Marcus L. Thorne The classical model of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation has evolved from a simple two-state toggle to a complex landscape of multiple active conformations. Ligand-biased agonism, or functional selectivity, describes the ability of specific ligands to stabilize distinct receptor conformations that preferentially engage one intracellular effector (e.g., G proteins) over another (e.g., β-arrestins).

Decoding Force-Induced Conformational Changes in Integrins Using Single-Molecule FRET Elena Vasquez Takahiro Nakamura Sarah K. Lindström Integrins are mechanosensitive adhesion receptors that transduce extracellular forces into intracellular signals through conformational changes. However, the dynamic nature of these force-induced transitions remains poorly understood. Here, we employed single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) combined with magnetic tweezers to directly visualize and quantify conformational changes in purified integrin αVβ3 under applied tensile forces.

Tumor Intrinsic Interferon-Gamma Signaling Drives CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion via IDO1 Induction in Microsatellite-Stable Colorectal Cancer Elena Marchetti Kazuki Tanaka Samuel Osei Background: Microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer (MSS-CRC) exhibits poor response to immune checkpoint blockade, partly due to CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) signaling in tumor cells can have dual effects, but its role in promoting exhaustion in MSS-CRC is unclear. Methods: We analyzed RNA-seq data from 245 MSS-CRC tumors and 30 normal tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and a validation cohort of 112 MSS-CRC samples.

Semantic and Structural Perspectives of Morphological Reduction and Increase Guo, L. From a semantic perspective, morphological reduction usually decreases the number of meanings of a lexeme, while morphological increase increases new meanings on the basis of original meanings. From a structural perspective, morphological reduction can delete the morphemes in the paradigm of a lexeme; for example, the reduction of an affixal morpheme reduces the paradigm of the lexeme from "three paradigms" to "two paradigms", or from "two paradigms" to "one paradigm".

The Analogical Understanding of Scriptural Symbols in Corpus Dionysiacum Reznichenko, А. I. The article explores the problem of the symbol in the Corpus Dionysiacum. The author establishes that, on the one hand, for Dionysius the Areopagite, the symbol is a way of understanding God, an anagogic path, a "gate" to the mystical knowledge of God, and on the other hand, the symbol is included in the hierarchical structure of the universe, representing the lowest stage of being, which, in its own way, reflects the "higher" spheres and ultimately God.

A Universal Basis for Religion and Spirituality Schoening, F. Many scholars consider the academic study of religion to be an attempt by outsiders to understand a phenomenon to which they have no access. As a result, the study of religion is often treated as the study of history, sociology, or psychology rather than a unique field with a unique subject matter. This essay argues that, to the contrary, the academic study of religion and spirituality can be a field unto itself because at their root, religion and spirituality are about the pursuit of self-trans Academic Ink Review Journal 2022-08-05 Text doi:10.26520/ijtps.2019.3.4.14-31 https://airjournal.org/article/a-universal-basis-for-religion-and-spirituality en CC BY 4.0

Revisionists argue that many of our commonsense judgments about the justice of war are mistaken and that fundamental moral principles generate conclusions that challenge conventional understandings of the laws of war doctrine.

Financing Healthcare in Nigeria: Impact of Out-of-Pocket Expenditure Egiyi, Modesta Amaka This research work scrutinized the impact of out-of-pocket expenditure on healthcare financing in Nigeria. It was observed that out of pocket expenditure of Nigeria within the period under review has been marginally increasing. The stated hypothesis was tested using ordinary least squares regression method with a data span from 2004 to 2014. Empirical finding reveals that out of pocket expenditure has no significant impact on healthcare financing in Nigeria.
