The theory of profinite groups is flourishing! This is the first immediate observation from looking at the four books on the subject which have come out in the last two years. The subject, which only two decades ago was somewhat remote, has made its way to mainstream mathematics in several different ways. What is a profinite group? A profinite group G is a topological group which is Hausdorff, ...

In a session dedicated to new treatment options for osteoarthritis (OA), two talks focused on promising results from phase 2 clinical trials. Yusuf Yazici (NYU School of Medicine, USA) presented week 26 interim analysis from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study using the novel WNT pathway inhibitor (SM04690) to treat knee OA (NCT02536833). Knee OA is characterized by de...

By tracking conformational transitions of individual ion channel proteins, single-channel recordings allow the observer to deduce gating mechanisms, as well as estimate rate constants of microscopic gating steps. For most ion channels, gating mechanisms are complex, comprising multiple stable open (O) and closed (C) conformations among which conformational transitions may follow a network of po...
