Drugs to treat #inflammatory and #autoimmune diseases — such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid #arthritis or #Chrousos syndrome — act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein regulates vital processes in various tissues, so understanding its structure and function at the #molecular level is essential for designing more effective and safer drugs.

In 1867, Lord Kelvin imagined atoms as knots in the aether. The idea was soon disproven. #Atoms turned out to be something else entirely. But his discarded vision may yet hold the key to why the #universe exists.

Burning #fossil #fuels has elevated #atmospheric carbon dioxide, causing massive changes in the global #climate including extreme temperatures and weather events here in the Midwest. Meanwhile, human activities have increased the amount of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus in #grasslands and #forests.
