TL;DR: This chapter discusses the integrated methods for the construction of three-dimensional models and computational probing of structure–function relations in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) and expects increased rate of success achieved by molecular modeling and computational simulation methods in providing structural insights relevant to the functions of biological molecules.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the integrated methods for the construction of three-dimensional models and computational probing of structure–function relations in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). The rapid pace of cloning and expression of G protein-coupled receptors offers attractive opportunities to probe the structural basis of signal transduction mechanisms at the level of these cell-surface receptors. Major insights have emerged from comparisons and classifications of the amino acid sequences of GPCRs into families defined by evolutionary developments and adapted to perform selective functions. Structural data on GPCRs, based on biochemical, immunological, and biophysical approaches have validated consensus architecture of GPCRs with an extracellular N-terminus, a cytoplasmic C-terminus, and a transmembrane portion comprised of seven-transmembrane helical domains connected by loops. Developments in the molecular modeling and computational exploration of GPCR proteins indicate a tantalizing potential to alleviate some of these difficulties. These expectations are based on the increased rate of success achieved by molecular modeling and computational simulation methods in providing structural insights relevant to the functions of biological molecules.

TL;DR: Regorafenib is the only systemic treatment shown to provide survival benefit in HCC patients progressing on sorafenIB treatment, and future trials should explore combinations of regorAFenib with other systemic agents and third-line treatments for patients who fail or who do not tolerate the sequence of sorafanib and regorafinib.

TL;DR: Recent studies combining behavioural, molecular and electrophysiological techniques reveal that certain aspects of depression result from maladaptive stress-induced neuroplastic changes in specific neural circuits and show that understanding the mechanisms of resilience to stress offers a crucial new dimension for the development of fundamentally novel antidepressant treatments.
Abstract: Unravelling the pathophysiology of depression is a unique challenge. Not only are depressive syndromes heterogeneous and their aetiologies diverse, but symptoms such as guilt and suicidality are impossible to reproduce in animal models. Nevertheless, other symptoms have been accurately modelled, and these, together with clinical data, are providing insight into the neurobiology of depression. Recent studies combining behavioural, molecular and electrophysiological techniques reveal that certain aspects of depression result from maladaptive stress-induced neuroplastic changes in specific neural circuits. They also show that understanding the mechanisms of resilience to stress offers a crucial new dimension for the development of fundamentally novel antidepressant treatments.

TL;DR: It is indicated that circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor are increased in cachectic patients with chronic heart failure and that this elevation is associated with the marked activation of the renin-angiotensin system seen in patients with end-stage cardiac disease.
Abstract: Background and Methods. Although cachexia often accompanies advanced heart failure, little is known about the causes of the cachectic state. To assess the potential role of tumor necrosis factor in the pathogenesis of cardiac cachexia, we measured serum levels of the factor in 33 patients with chronic heart failure, 33 age-matched healthy controls, and 9 patients with chronic renal failure. Results. Mean (±SEM) serum levels of tumor necrosis factor were higher in the patients with heart failure (115±25 U per milliliter) than in the healthy controls (9±3 U per milliliter; P 2 SD above the mean value for the control group), whereas the remaining 14 patients had serum levels of tumor necrosis factor below this level. The patients with high levels of tumor necrosis factor were more cachectic than those with low levels (82±3 vs. 95±6 percent of ideal body weight, respectively; P...
