In a new study, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Hiro Furukawa and postdoc Hyunook Kang prove the existence of a mysterious brain receptor known as GluN1-2B-2D. They also show several ways the ...

Opioid Drugs Interacting with Brain Pain Receptors Opioid drugs interact with brain pain receptors by binding to specific molecules called "opioid receptors" located on nerve cells in the brain and ...

Direct renin inhibitors Only one drug, aliskiren ... These hormones can bind to parts of cells called alpha receptors. When this occurs, your blood vessels narrow, and your heart beats faster ...

Epidemiologic studies have shown that prolactin levels in the high-normal range, as well as medications that ... via a competitive mechanism for receptor binding. In this review, we discuss ...

Clinical neuroscientist Joe Schacht offered an overview of the research on weight-loss drugs for alcoholism, other potential ...

New research sheds light on how ketamine affects the brain by targeting a specific NMDA receptor subtype, GluN1-2B-2D.

The strength of theoretical approaches is in the simplification of complex biological systems. We here consider the general problem of receptor–ligand binding in the context of antibody–antigen ...

AI helps scientists decode a cone snail toxin’s targets, paving the way for safer drug development and ecological research.

In preliminary studies, we discovered that selected typical and atypical antipsychotic drugs interacted with virtually every biogenic amine receptor tested, in confirmation of many prior studies ...

Tweaking the spacing between binding domains on the ECM surrounding cancer cells can boost their killing via ultrasound ...
