Olfactory receptors (ORs), the largest family within the G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, have long been recognized for their essential ...

A multinational research team led by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, RIKEN, and the University of Toronto has ...

T cell activation—the process by which these key immune defenders recognize threats and mobilize against them—depends on ...

Inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) are pivotal Ca²⁺ channels embedded in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. Their activation by inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and Ca²⁺ gives rise to ...

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

A team has demonstrated new mechanisms that are involved in the development of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. A team led by LMU researchers Christian Weber and Yvonne Döring has demonstrated ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

This month’s Healio Exclusive explores one of the most extraordinary and rapidly evolving frontiers in modern medicine: the ...

Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for ...
