All cells, whether big or small, short or long, rely on proteins to function properly. In most cells, transporting these proteins is relatively simple. Neurons in the brain, however, face a ...
Researchers say findings may have relevance to understanding cell biological pathways that contribute to nerve repair after injury or neurodegeneration.
New research combines two powerful imaging techniques to study the complete structure of a common aGPCR, including how its long and complex extracellular region interacts with the transmembrane region ...
A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled receptors in living cells actually respond to activating substances. The ...
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 ...
HIV-1 remodels the spatial organization of its co-receptor, CXCR4, on T cell membranes, showing that viral entry requires receptor clustering rather than simple receptor binding.
This new technique for studying cell receptors could have sweeping implications for drug development
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 ...
Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...
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 ...
