Being abundant primary producers, single-celled eukaryotic diatoms and dinoflagellates dominate marine food webs and significantly impact the ecology of the oceans. These organisms face competition ...

Roughly a third of all drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration target a large family of biomolecules, known as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), whose job is to trigger cellular ...

Growth factors trigger G proteins (in green) to disengage from GPCRs and change localization within cells. At right: A ribbon diagram of the G protein structure shows the position of all phosphoevents ...

A group of researchers at University of California San Diego has identified the cause of a “short-circuit” in cellular pathways, a discovery that sheds new light on the genesis of a number of human ...

About one-third of all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration target the largest family of cell membrane receptors called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Subscribe to our newsletter ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers have developed a new tool to better understand how chemicals like dopamine and epinephrine interact with neurons. University of Michigan researchers have developed a new tool to better ...
