In a major brain science breakthrough, New Orleans-based researchers and collaborators have discovered a nerve signaling ...
UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors ...
Receptors on cell surfaces translate an outer signal into a response inside the cell. By this, they are responsible for a plethora of essential processes in living organisms. But what if we could ...
The surface of B cells is covered with antigen receptors with which they recognize invading pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. When a B cell receptor binds to an antigen, that is, to a foreign ...
Scientists have visualized for the first time how opioids such as loperamide and the antidote naloxone engage a key brain receptor, offering insight that could lead to better pain treatments.
There are many kinds of T cells, and they play different parts in defending the body. Some T cells kill infected cells, ...
Researchers created a tool capable of comprehensively mapping crucial interactions underlying drug efficacy in one superfamily of cell receptors. One in every three FDA-approved drugs targets a single ...
New research, led by LJI scientists, offers a potential way to boost tissue-resident memory T cell numbers to better fight disease.
