Cell behaviour is regulated by myriad external stimuli that act through specialized receptor proteins at the cell surface. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of receptors and ...

Receptors are specialised membrane‐bound proteins that play a fundamental role in translating extracellular signals into precise intracellular responses. Integral to cellular communication, these ...

A recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server discovered that near relatives of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) utilize angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

Illinois professor Uwe Rudolph, left, and research scientist Maltesh Kambali led an international group of researchers who found a key role for an enzyme regulating glycine in the brain while ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. By stimulating these receptors in mice, scientists increased levels of a ...
