A research team at Leipzig University has identified a mechanism in adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (adhesion GPCRs), a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The spike protein (S) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a major structural protein and is therefore involved in several interactions involving host infections. The ...

A GPS-like technique has been used to track G protein-coupled receptor movement, revealing how these essential receptors function. Although G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are crucial to the ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

A study published in Nature looks at whether a bat alphacoronavirus can bind to human receptors and enter cells. Prof Jonathan Ball, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Professor of Molecular Virology, ...

Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale Lausanne (EPFL), and at UNIL-CHUV, University Hospital Lausanne (CHUV) and University of Lausanne (UNIL) have developed a computational method to create ...

Effects of HPV vaccination on the development of HPV-related cancers: A retrospective analysis of a United States-based cohort. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting I.
