Previous studies of the analysis of molecular matched pairs (MMPs) have often assumed that the effect of a substructural transformation on a molecular property is independent of the context (i.e., the local structural environment in which that transformation occurs). Experiments with large sets of hERG, solubility, and lipophilicity data demonstrate that the inclusion of contextual information can enhance the predictive power of MMP analyses, with significant trends (both positive and negative) being identified that are not apparent when using conventional, context-independent approaches.

Multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene typically presenting with inclusion body myopathy (IBM), Paget's disease of bone (PDB), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Parkinsonism is a rare feature of MSP1, occurring in 3-4% of cases, with limited post-mortem evidence suggesting neuronal synucleinopathy. We report a case of VCP-related parkinsonism providing the first in vivo demonstration of phosphorylated alpha-synuclein deposition in skin biopsy, a highly sensitive and specific in vivo biomarker of synucleinopathy.

Background: Previous research suggests that sexual minorities are at higher risk for psychotic experiences, possibly due to repeated social defeat experiences. However, empirical research investigating this hypothesis is largely lacking. This study examined how experiences of "feeling excluded" and "not belonging" impact the prospective development of psychotic experiences in an adolescent sexual minority group, defined here as non-heterosexual attraction to others.

Background: The integration of digital health care technologies into speech-language pathology and audiology is rapidly transforming service delivery. In South Africa and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), digital tools offer significant opportunities to address access challenges and enhance patient outcomes. However, the adoption of these technologies requires careful consideration of contextual factors.

Conservation has embraced advances in big data and related digital technologies as key to preventing biodiversity loss, especially in the identification of areas of conservation priority based on spatial data, which we call the big geospatial data turn. This turn has led to the proliferation of useful methods and tools, including global geospatial maps. But these methods may also undermine moves toward rights-based and inclusive conservation approaches that consider plural values and perspectives.
