Cell behaviour is regulated by myriad external stimuli that act through specialized receptor proteins at the cell surface. G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of receptors and ...

Illinois professor Uwe Rudolph, left, and research scientist Maltesh Kambali led an international group of researchers who found a key role for an enzyme regulating glycine in the brain while ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified two specific receptor proteins in the brain that, when activated, boost the organ’s built-in ability to break down the amyloid-beta plaques ...

A protein that has long frustrated diabetes researchers is suddenly at the center of a very different fight. By targeting an enzyme called protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, or PTP1B, scientists are ...

In a recent study published in Neuron, researchers investigate the role of the mast-cell-specific receptor Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptor B2 (MrgprB2) in alcohol-withdrawal-induced headaches ...

Researchers have identified two brain receptors that help the brain clear away amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s ...
