TL;DR: The cloning of GABAB receptors is reported and photoaffinity labelling experiments suggest that the cloned receptors correspond to two highly conserved GABAB receptor forms present in the vertebrate nervous system.
Abstract: GABA (gamma-amino-butyric acid), the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, signals through ionotropic (GABA(A)/ GABA(c)) and metabotropic (GABA(B)) receptor systems. Here we report the cloning of GABA(B) receptors. Photoaffinity labelling experiments suggest that the cloned receptors correspond to two highly conserved GABA(B) receptor forms present in the vertebrate nervous system. The cloned receptors negatively couple to adenylyl cyclase and show sequence similarity to the metabotropic receptors for the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate.

TL;DR: The case for the use of HTS as part of a proven scientific tool kit, the wider use of which is essential for the discovery of new chemotypes is presented.
Abstract: High-throughput screening (HTS) has been postulated in several quarters to be a contributory factor to the decline in productivity in the pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, it has been blamed for stifling the creativity that drug discovery demands. In this article, we aim to dispel these myths and present the case for the use of HTS as part of a proven scientific tool kit, the wider use of which is essential for the discovery of new chemotypes.

TL;DR: The use of the Gibbs sampler as a method for calculating Bayesian marginal posterior and predictive densities is reviewed and illustrated with a range of normal data models, including variance components, unordered and ordered means, hierarchical growth curves, and missing data in a crossover trial.
Abstract: The use of the Gibbs sampler as a method for calculating Bayesian marginal posterior and predictive densities is reviewed and illustrated with a range of normal data models, including variance components, unordered and ordered means, hierarchical growth curves, and missing data in a crossover trial. In all cases the approach is straightforward to specify distributionally and to implement computationally, with output readily adapted for required inference summaries.

TL;DR: Adjuvant use of combination therapy with dabrafenib plus trametinib resulted in a significantly lower risk of recurrence in patients with stage III melanoma with BRAF V600E or V600K mutations than the adjuvantUse of placebo and was not associated with new toxic effects.
Abstract: BackgroundCombination therapy with the BRAF inhibitor dabrafenib plus the MEK inhibitor trametinib improved survival in patients with advanced melanoma with BRAF V600 mutations. We sought to determine whether adjuvant dabrafenib plus trametinib would improve outcomes in patients with resected, stage III melanoma with BRAF V600 mutations. MethodsIn this double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial, we randomly assigned 870 patients with completely resected, stage III melanoma with BRAF V600E or V600K mutations to receive oral dabrafenib at a dose of 150 mg twice daily plus trametinib at a dose of 2 mg once daily (combination therapy, 438 patients) or two matched placebo tablets (432 patients) for 12 months. The primary end point was relapse-free survival. Secondary end points included overall survival, distant metastasis–free survival, freedom from relapse, and safety. ResultsAt a median follow-up of 2.8 years, the estimated 3-year rate of relapse-free survival was 58% in the combination-therapy group a...
