The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

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). Subscribe to our newsletter ...

The ability to grow stem cell-derived biological tissues, such as skin and other organs, in the laboratory holds promise for applications in areas including wound healing and transplants. However, ...

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 ...

Membrane proteins are vital for cellular signaling, transport, and communication, making them attractive drug targets despite their challenging properties. Advances in mass spectrometry have enabled ...

A study published in The EMBO Journal opens new perspectives to better understand how the molecular mechanisms involved in regenerative medicine work. The study focuses on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF ...
