Opioid receptors are a subset of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). These membrane proteins transmit signals into the cell ...
January 18, 2010 — Individuals with treatment-resistant depression tend to have the G/G genotype associated with higher levels of 5-HT 1A autoreceptors, and turning off some of those autoreceptors ...
One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...
Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.
Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...
A new study in Nature Neuroscience identifies a biological mechanism that explains why repeated experiences become less ...
Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to ...
A basic function of cells is that they act in response to their environments. It makes sense, then, that a goal of scientists is to control that process, making cells respond how they want to what ...
More than 1,000 bitter-tasting compounds are recognized by a repertoire of 26 membrane proteins called the type-2 taste receptors (TAS2Rs), also known as the bitter taste receptors 1, 2. Our ...
