The human P2X4 receptor plays an important role in chronic pain, inflammation and some types of cancer. Researchers at the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) have now discovered ...

Three cheap hygroscopic salt solutions on carbon nanotube sensors distinguish nine toxic gases, including warfare agents, without engineered receptor molecules.

Researchers hope to undertake clinical studies in multiple cancers, including ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, and others.

As key molecules on the surface of immune cells, Fc receptors are the core hub of antibody-mediated effector functions. They play an irreplaceable role in physiological processes such as ...

(seen here from above) has three parts. If activated, a pore in the receptor opens and allows ions to flow into the cell. PSB-0704 (shown in color) prevents this from happening and blocks, for example ...

Adhesion GPCRs are a large class of surface proteins that recognize chemical and mechanical stimuli in the body. The rapidly expanding body of knowledge on the therapeutic targeting of these receptors ...

A study carried out by the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn throws light on how an important receptor can be inhibited. The human P2X4 receptor plays an important role in chronic ...

The research, published June 4 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, identifies critical connections between activity of the epilepsy drug perampanel and the resulting movements of the AMPA ...

Scientists have zeroed in on a critical weak spot behind a rare but devastating brain autoimmune disorder often known as ...
