STED image of CD95 receptors on the cell membrane. For every fluorescent receptor spot, the brightness (number of photons per pixel) and standard deviation of the dot size (σ) are analysed. In ...

When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment ...

New research combines two powerful imaging techniques to study the complete structure of a common aGPCR, including how its long and complex extracellular region interacts with the transmembrane region ...

T cells are our immune system's customised tools for fighting infectious diseases and tumor cells. On their surface, these special white blood cells carry a receptor that recognizes antigens. With the ...

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, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — When it comes to brain proteins, small changes can make a dramatic difference. Researchers studying NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors have a large extracellular region (shown in green and orange) that extends into space outside the cell. Almost 35% of drugs approved by the Food and Drug ...
