Recent groundbreaking advances in the structural biology of the glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) and urate transporter 1 (URAT1) have provided critical insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying urate recognition and transport. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), researchers have elucidated the structures of these transporters at high resolution, thus revealing their substrate preferences and interactions with inhibitors. Several studies have highlighted the potential of specific inhibitors, such as apigenin for GLUT9, and have demonstrated the role of chloride-mediated inhibition in URAT1 function. These findings provide an excellent starting point for developing targeted therapies for hyperuricemia and gout, to enable the design of more effective and selective drugs in the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scienceopen.com\/hosted-document?doi=10.15212\/AMM-2024-0048\">https:\/\/www.scienceopen.com\/hosted-document?doi=10.15212\/AMM-2024-0048<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Acta Materia Medica<\/em> welcomes the submission of research articles, review articles, databases, mini reviews, commentaries, editorials, short communications, case report articles and study protocols.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Submissions <em>to Acta Materia Medica<\/em> are made using ScholarOne, the online submission and peer review system.
