Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein activate the same receptor but can produce divergent effects. Reports now describe two active conformations for the PTH receptor, one of which moves intracellularly—complexed with hormone and G protein—to produce a continued cAMP signal.

Chemo-metabolic processes such as redox remodeling and amino acid availability act as immunity rheostats, revealing a new mechanism regulating intercellular cross-talk between dendritic cells, regulatory T lymphocytes and effector T lymphocytes.

Hydrolysis of the phosphodiester linkages in DNA is a notoriously difficult reaction. Deoxyribozymes that use Zn2+ and Mn2+ ions to accelerate this reaction by a factor of one hundred million (or more) have been identified and characterized.
