    Citalopram exhibits immune-dependent anti-tumor effects by modulating C5aR1+ TAMs

    Fangyuan Dong, Shan Zhang ... Shu-Heng Jiang
    Drug repurposing analyses show that citalopram exerts anti-tumor effects by targeting C5aR1 on tumor-associated macrophages to enhance phagocytosis and CD8+ T cell immunity.

    Shifting the PPARγ conformational ensemble toward a transcriptionally repressive state improves covalent inhibitor efficacy

    Liudmyla Arifova, Brian S MacTavish ... Douglas J Kojetin
    Covalent PPARγ inhibitors that better stabilize a repressive conformation are more effective inhibitors, but structural plasticity still allows ligand cobinding by enabling a shift back to an active conformation.
