Just published in @EJMedChem! Our new review: "α6 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors: A Pharmacological Challenge with Untapped Therapeutic Promise." We explore α6*-nAChRs: a key drug target for brain disorders, yet a massive med-chem puzzle. 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #MedChem

What's next for the field? We highlight two huge opportunities: ✨ Allosteric Modulators: For a more nuanced, safer way to tune receptor function. ✨ Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD): Leveraging new Cryo-EM structures to finally crack the selectivity code. #SBDD

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is not from Typhoon Yagi. This digitally altered tornado video surfaces frequently as scare-mongering click-bait during wind storms. A fact-checking investigation debunked this video last year: annielab.org/2023/09/18/fal… Here is another account posting the same video last year: x.com/SpaceToday1/st…

Tu Youyou turned to Chinese medical texts from the Zhou, Qing, and Han Dynasties to find a traditional cure for malaria, ultimately extracting a compound – artemisinin – that has saved millions of lives. Read about a remarkable laureate: nobelprize.org/womenwhochang…

Loyal employees are targeted by managers for exploitation. The targeting of these loyal workers is driven by the assumption that loyal works are readily willing to make personal sacrifices. The same thing happens in reverse: workers who agree (versus refuse) to be exploited in the workplace acquire stronger reputations for loyalty. The relationship between loyalty and exploitation have the potential to create a vicious circle of suffering. Leaders and organizations should REWARD loyal workers rather than exploit them!

Excited to host Dr. Kevin Staley for the 2023 @bcm_neurosci seminar series! His seminal discoveries transformed our understanding of the ionic basis of GABAergic inhibition & network dysfunction in #epilepsy, & led to 1st-in-kind therapeutic trials. @TCHResearchNews @bcmhouston
