Cells constantly navigate a dynamic environment, facing ever-changing conditions and challenges. But how do cells swiftly adapt to these environmental fluctuations? A new study is answering that question by challenging our understanding of how cells function. A team of researchers suggests that cells possess a previously unknown information processing system that allows them to make rapid decisions independent of their genes.

Recent studies suggest that amongst the GABA A receptor subtype heterogeneity, α2/α3 subunits of GABA A receptors mediate pain processing. Therefore, α2/α3-subtype selective GABA A receptor positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) may be candidate analgesics. Antinociceptive effects of α2/α3-subtype selective GABA A receptor PAMs have been reported, but the behavioral effects of these compounds have not been systematically evaluated.

Dotinurad was developed as a uricosuric agent, inhibiting urate (UA) reabsorption through the UA transporter URAT1 in the kidneys. Due to its high selectivity for URAT1 among renal UA transporters, we investigated the mechanism underlying this selectivity by identifying dotinurad binding sites specific to URAT1. Dotinurad was docked to URAT1 using AutoDock4, utilizing the AlphaFold2-predicted structure.

Histone deacetylase expression and activity are often dysregulated in central nervous system (CNS) tumors, providing a rationale for investigating histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) in selected brain tumor patients. Although many HDACIs have shown potential in in vitro studies, they have had modest efficacy in vivo. This lack of activity could be due to insufficient CNS exposure to the unbound drug.
