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 ...

Cancer immunotherapy, especially using T cells, is showing a lot of promise in treating blood cancers. Bioengineered T cells, ...

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 ...

Study sets stage for development of synthetic biosensors with custom-built sensing and responses for basic and translational cell engineering applications.

Deciphering how the GR forms oligomers—through the binding of several subunits—opens a crucial avenue for developing more ...

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 ...

A team of scientists has now identified address codes in odorant receptor proteins for the first time. Similar to zip codes, the codes ensure that the sensor proteins are targeted from inside the cell ...

Proteins are encoded by genes - however, this information is divided into small coding sections, which are only assembled during a process called splicing. Various combinations are possible, some of ...

An unexpected find shows that sweet-sensing receptors also help epithelial cells in Drosophila larvae stay alive amid proteotoxic stress. While combing through a list of genes that are differently ...
