Researchers found a protein that's essential for an enterovirus to enter human cells. Although not the infamous example—that ...

The AMPA group of brain receptors have mostly been assumed to be calcium impermeable and so were not thought to contribute to the calcium-dependent mechanisms underlying learning and memory.

A new study by McGill University researchers yields insights into how the disruption of calcium transport in the brain is linked to autism and intellectual disability.

Cannabinoid CB1 receptors have been a potential target for nonopioid-based pain treatment, but actually targeting the pathway has been hindered by issues with tolerance and unwanted CNS side effects.

A receptor that cannabis latches onto in the brain could be a promising target for future mental health treatments.

Physical activity had a remarkably similar effect to the over-expression of CB1 receptors. Mice that were genetically altered ...

Dan Berkowitz might never have noticed the phenomenon if not for the new lights. In 2012, Johns Hopkins University’s Berkowitz had just moved to a lab space where the lights were motion-activated, and ...

Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, ...

Both ibuprofen and naproxen potently inhibit hTAS1R2–TAS1R3 receptors that sense sweetness in a dose-dependent manner. The ...
