Receptors are specialised membrane‐bound proteins that play a fundamental role in translating extracellular signals into precise intracellular responses. Integral to cellular communication, these ...
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 ...
The blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers are protective systems that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and ...
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 ...
Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, especially those equipped with chimeric antigen receptors (CAR-T cells), ...
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 ...
This review synthesizes clinical, genetic, and mechanistic evidence showing that suPAR and related uPAR fragments are ...
A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...
