G protein-coupled receptor 84 (GPR84) is a member of the rhodopsin-like receptor family that has attracted considerable interest owing to its role in linking fatty acid metabolism with inflammatory ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are expressed on the surface of cells and regulate a range of important functions. Because they are involved in so many sensory and physiological processes, ...
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 ...
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital today announced a nearly $13 million investment toward a new research collaboration with scientists at Columbia University, Duke University and Stanford ...
A recent study published in Engineering delves into the complex mechanisms of drug addiction, highlighting the crucial role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This research offers ...
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 have uncovered the ...
The discovery of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers has revealed a new level of complexity in their functional characteristics. This review explores a variety of methodologies and live cell ...
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 ...
Lefkowitz started to trace cell receptors in 1968. Using radioactivity, he managed to unveil several receptors, including one for adrenalin, the β-adrenergic receptor. His team then extracted the ...
A publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B discusses allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors as a novel therapeutic strategy in neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain is a debilitating ...
Two different versions of the mu-opioid receptor within a cellular membrane illustrate how the receptor changes its conformation to send a signal into the cell. Scientists captured six high-resolution ...
