A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

Ryan Notti (left) and Thomas Walz (right) discovered new characteristics of a T cell receptor that are essential to a variety ...

Androgens exert their effects largely by binding to nuclear androgen receptors to regulate gene expression, but they can also bind to receptors in plasma membranes to rapidly induce cellular responses ...

The human P2X4 receptor plays an important role in chronic pain, inflammation and some types of cancer. Researchers at the ...

A revolution has occurred in the field of pharmaceutical development due to the development of drugs that target membrane proteins. It is estimated that one-third of currently available drugs target G ...

Signal transduction by GRB2 and SOS1. When some substances bind to a membrane receptor, a reaction occurs between the receptor and GRB2, which then goes on to bind and activate SOS1. SOS1 can then ...
