Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...
Histamine is widely known for its role in allergic reactions but also functions as a key neurotransmitter in the brain, where ...
A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. — When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and ...
The histamine H3 receptor typically becomes active upon binding to one of its agonists, such as histamine itself. This, in ...
Researchers have uncovered the structure of a known, widespread human taste receptor, which may help scientists understand the role it plays outside the tongue. “What we found was totally unexpected,” ...
The novel biosensor technology used in this study can also be transferred to other so-called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which act as crucial “signal receivers” in our cells and are of major ...
The discovery of insulin nearly a century ago changed diabetes from a death sentence to a chronic disease. This week, a team that includes researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of ...
When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment ...
