Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms—including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—that invade a host, replicate, and ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seminal transducers of extracellular signals into intracellular responses, orchestrating intricate cascades that regulate cell proliferation, migration and ...
New research led by the University of Minnesota Medical School demonstrates that molecules acting as "molecular bumpers" and "molecular glues" can rewire G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, ...
GPCR dynamics, shown in purple as the human A 2A receptor, and elegant modifications in activation pathways (allostery) indicated by the blue arrow, are critical for enabling GPCRs to bind to multiple ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 28 (July 13, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) The evolutionary expansion of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ...
The adult midgut of the Drosophila fly: The preparation is visible under the microscope due to nuclear staining and endogenous expression of the receptor Mayo. Adhesion GPCRs belong to the large ...
University of Michigan researchers have developed a new tool to better understand how chemicals like dopamine and epinephrine interact with neurons. These chemicals are among a wide variety of signals ...
