The oxytocin receptor (OXTR) is a G protein-coupled receptor with a diverse repertoire of intracellular signaling pathways, which are activated in response to binding oxytocin (OXT) and a similar ...

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 ...

Long-term depression (LTD) encompasses a family of synaptic plasticity mechanisms that can be triggered by the synaptic or pharmacological activation of glutamate receptors — in particular ...

In particular, he is interested in how ion channels, which let molecules like sodium or potassium flow in or out of cells, regulate the activity of sensory neurons and mediate pain signaling. Ion ...
