Researchers use optogenetics to successfully switch specific G-protein coupled signalling pathways on and off. Read More
Researchers report arginine methylation regulates dopamine signaling in human cells. Read More
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. Read More
Researchers deconstruct the vagus nerve. Read More
Researchers gain a better understanding of the mGlu1 receptor which they believe to be a viable target for future medications to treat a number of brain disorders. Read More
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. Read More
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. Read More
