Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions.

New research reveals previously unknown ways opioid receptors can function, opening the door to safer pain treatments.

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) scientists have discovered a molecular difference in the brains of autistic people compared to ...

Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for ...

The insulin receptor (IR) is a prototypical receptor tyrosine kinase that orchestrates critical cellular processes, including metabolism, cell growth and differentiation. Activation of the IR involves ...

For the first time, researchers identified the function of the CASKIN2 protein, which plays a key role in precise signal transmission between neurons and memory formation in the brain. This study is ...

A team has demonstrated new mechanisms that are involved in the development of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. A team led by LMU researchers Christian Weber and Yvonne Döring has demonstrated ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

A Purdue University-led research team has begun translating the complex molecular language of petunias. Their grammar and vocabulary are well hidden, however, within the countless proteins and other ...
