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 ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors have a large extracellular region (shown in green and orange) that extends into space outside the cell. Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug ...

A new study shows how the single-molecule organization of receptors in a cellular context determines the function of antibodies, opening up new pathways for the development of cancer immunotherapies.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking new technique for engineering biosensors that respond sensitively to specific biomolecules, enhancing cell migration and targeting in cancer treatment. The ...

Researchers studying clonal raider ants have uncovered how each sensory neuron manages to express just one odorant receptor gene from a library of hundreds.

In a new study, scientists have shown that chemical receptors that plants use to recognize nitrogen-fixing bacteria have ...

An international research team from Leibniz-FMP, the University of Oxford, and the University of Birmingham have developed a novel imaging approach to track how popular dual agonist drugs like ...

Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee still remembers the first cell he cultured: It was an immune cell from a mouse, and he had grown it in a petri dish. As he examined it through a microscope, the cell moved, ...
