When THC attaches to the receptor, the effect is like an off switch to a light bulb, effectively turning "off" the pain. But ...

Engineered immune cells called CAR-T cells are used in the treatment of cancer. Researchers from Uppsala University have now ...

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 ...

Specific protein regions within the estrogen receptor, crucial for breast cancer development, have been identified as 'molecular switches' that coordinate cellular processes.

Septerna has a market cap of $750mn and $130mn in cash and ST investments. Discover SEPN's groundbreaking drug discovery ...

EPFL researchers have developed a computational method to explicitly consider the impact of water while designing membrane receptors with enhanced stability and signaling, paving the way for novel ...

Just as a machine needs specific controls to function, proteins like the estrogen receptor control how cells grow and behave. "We found previously unknown 'molecular switches' within the estrogen ...
