Receptors on cell surfaces translate an outer signal into a response inside the cell. By this, they are responsible for a plethora of essential processes in living organisms. But what if we could ...
UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors ...
The surface of B cells is covered with antigen receptors with which they recognize invading pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. When a B cell receptor binds to an antigen, that is, to a foreign ...
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 ...
A group of immune proteins called the inflammasome can help prevent blood stem cells from becoming malignant by removing ...
