HCAR3 Structures Reveal Agonist Selectivity
2026-08-30
Ye et al. used cryo-EM and cellular cAMP assays to define how selective agonists, including Acifran, recognize HCAR3 and discriminate it from HCAR2. The structures identify pocket architecture and residue-level interactions that may guide lipid signaling pathway modulation while helping researchers evaluate receptor selectivity and assay design.

GS-441524: From Nucleoside Analog to Translational Map
2026-08-28
GS-441524 is more than a catalog identity: it is a mechanistic reference point for studying nucleoside activation, prodrug conversion, intracellular exposure, and antiviral assay design. New LC–MS/MS evidence on NGP-1 shows why translational teams should measure both a GS-441524 prodrug and released GS-441524 across gastric, hepatic, blood, and in vivo matrices.
