Fc receptors (FcRs) are a group of glycoproteins that belong to the immunoglobulin superfamily and are classified, like Fc alpha receptors (FcαRs), Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) and Fc epsilon receptors ...

An international research team led by a University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine investigator has revealed ultra-detailed ...

Manipulating the immune system to treat cancer has generated phenomenal responses in some patients, including complete cures, but those responses do not last for everyone. For example, chimeric ...

Scientists have employed a novel two-step method of labeling neurotransmitter receptor proteins to track their localization efficiently. The neurons in our nervous system "talk" to each other by ...

Researchers at Leipzig University and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg have investigated a previously unknown ...

New method marks proteins and reveals the receptors in which neurons are dressed. Where in a nerve cell is a certain receptor protein located? Without an answer to this question, it is difficult to ...

Signal transduction is the term for the process which causes chemical and physical signals to be transmitted within a cell as a series of molecular events. The most common signal transduction process ...

Scientists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have glimpsed never-before-seen details of the human androgen receptor — the protein inside of cells that responds to male-typical hormones ...
