Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown ...

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, ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of cell surface receptors, orchestrating a vast array of physiological responses by transducing extracellular signals into ...

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 ...

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 ...

How do signals from outside the cell cause a response inside it? Such outside signals could be hormones or neurotransmitters. To notice them, the cell's surface possesses receptors. One of the key ...

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 ...

A recent study published in Nature by a research team from the United States and China introduced a new class of engineered G ...

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 ...
