These receptors are involved in many processes ... Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UChicago and senior author of the new study. The results appear in Nature ...

Receptor heteromers constitute a new area of research that is reshaping our thinking about biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology and drug discovery. In this commentary, we recommend clear ...

UB researchers have uncovered how heat causes a critical receptor protein within cells to unfold and relay pain.

Hotter temperatures may render natural insect repellents less effective against mosquitoes, according to a new study. Researchers found that a pain receptor called TRPA1 becomes less sensitive in ...

Each cell in your body relies on precise communication with other cells to function properly. At the center of this process are the molecular switches that turn communication signals in the body on ...

“We computationally predict what mutations allow better binding to host receptors and better evasion of antibodies,” said Boston College Assistant Professor of Biology Babak Momeni, a lead researcher ...

NRPs are ubiquitously expressed, pleiotropic cell surface receptors with important roles in growth factor signaling, vascular biology, and neurobiology, as well as immune homeostasis and activation.

In particular, studies have suggested that something is unusual about signaling controlled by the inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), whether it be lower levels of GABA or the ...

These receive incoming impulses from other neurones. Information from receptors passes along neurones, as electrical impulses to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS.
