A multinational research team led by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, RIKEN, and the University of Toronto has ...
A new study found that a single mutation to the hemagglutinin protein of an H5N1 virus isolated from a dairy worker in Texas this spring switched the protein’s binding specificity from avian- to human ...
The discovery of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) heteromers has revealed a new level of complexity in their functional characteristics. This review explores a variety of methodologies and live cell ...
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 at the University of ...
Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...
A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Hangzhou-based Zhejiang University have made a major breakthrough in ...
Lefkowitz started to trace cell receptors in 1968. Using radioactivity, he managed to unveil several receptors, including one for adrenalin, the β-adrenergic receptor. His team then extracted the ...
Researchers created a tool capable of comprehensively mapping crucial interactions underlying drug efficacy in one superfamily of cell receptors. One in every three FDA-approved drugs targets a single ...
Kaplan-Meier methods estimated overall survival (OS) and duration of response (DOR). DOR was defined from the time of initial response to progression, death, or last follow-up. Median follow-up was ...
