Researchers use optogenetics to successfully switch specific G-protein coupled signalling pathways on and off.
Researchers discovered the GPR3 protein could play an important role in reducing the generation of amyloid beta and in alleviating cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers deconstruct the vagus nerve.
Researchers have developed a variant of the Mu opioid receptor which has several advantages for experimentation The variant can be grown in large quantities and is water soluble, allowing for experiments and applications which have previously been challenging.
Researchers analyze the atomic structure of two types of human serotonin receptors. Their findings could explain why some drugs, which interact with these receptors, occasionally have harmful effects.
Researchers discovered the CALHM1 channel protein releases ATP to make a neural taste connection.
