Cell surface receptors, such as the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK), play central roles signalling pathways. Due to their central role in regulating a wide range ...

Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have uncovered ...

Ligand engagement-induced dimerization is a classic method by which cell surface signaling proteins communicate extracellular signals into a functional intracellular response. In fact, proteins in ...

Mimicry of receptor functions by designing synthetic receptors would be one of the recently hot research trends in cell engineering. While several types of synthetic receptors have been designed to ...

What is dimerization? It is a process where two molecules of similar chemical composition come together to form a single polymer known as a dimer. Where does dimerization occur? It happens throughout ...

A study reported by researchers at NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center and at the University of Oxford has offered up new insights into the workings of an immune cell surface receptor, ...

Study deciphers the molecular handshake between LDL receptors and apoB100, shedding light on cholesterol metabolism and its role in cardiovascular disease. Study: Structure of apolipoprotein B100 ...
