A receptor involved in normal physiological processes may also drive breast cancer growth when overexpressed.

The human P2X4 receptor plays an important role in chronic pain, inflammation and some types of cancer. Researchers at the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) have now discovered ...

Clinical trials and equitable care pathways are needed to build on early evidence of benefit Substance use disorders (SUDs) are common and burdensome for patients, families, and health systems,12 yet ...

(seen here from above) has three parts. If activated, a pore in the receptor opens and allows ions to flow into the cell. PSB-0704 (shown in color) prevents this from happening and blocks, for example ...

Researchers hope to undertake clinical studies in multiple cancers, including ovarian cancer, glioblastoma, and others.

A study carried out by the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn throws light on how an important receptor can be inhibited. The human P2X4 receptor plays an important role in chronic ...

The research, published June 4 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, identifies critical connections between activity of the epilepsy drug perampanel and the resulting movements of the AMPA ...

Three cheap hygroscopic salt solutions on carbon nanotube sensors distinguish nine toxic gases, including warfare agents, without engineered receptor molecules. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Many toxic gases, ...

Scientists have designed a new type of gas sensor that can tell apart "mirror image" versions of the same smell molecule, even at very low concentrations. By coating carbon nanotubes with custom-built ...
