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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 28 (July 13, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) The evolutionary expansion of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ...

University of Michigan researchers have developed a new tool to better understand how chemicals like dopamine and epinephrine interact with neurons. These chemicals are among a wide variety of signals ...

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 ...

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). GPCRs are indispensable for ...

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important, potential drug targets for the treatment of metabolic disorders, such as obesity. GPCRs ...

A group of researchers 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 diseases and could lead to development ...

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 ...
