A number of membrane proteins that are present on the cell membrane control external and internal material transportation, cell protection and signal transmission. The diversity of functions of ...
A recent study published in Engineering delves into the complex mechanisms of drug addiction, highlighting the crucial role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This research offers ...
The discovery of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers has revealed a new level of complexity in their functional characteristics. This review explores a variety of methodologies and live cell ...
Taste, pain, or response to stress—nearly all essential functions in the human body are regulated by molecular switches called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Researchers at the University of ...
Nearly all vital functions in the human body are regulated by so-called G protein-coupled receptors on the cell surface. These receptors thus serve as attractive drug targets to treat various diseases ...
Chemerin is a key adipokine that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. In addition, it plays a critical role ...
Seeking students to join a new and growing lab that seeks to understand the molecular causes of cancer in order to develop better therapies and improve patient outcomes. Our lab seeks to understand ...
Naloxone can reverse an overdose in minutes, but exactly how it does this at the molecular level has previously been unclear.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the RIKEN Center for Brain Science in Japan have identified two receptors ...
