The nonapeptide Oxytocin is a cyclic nine-amino‐acid peptide that has long been studied for its possible roles in ...

Researchers have been trying for years to make an artificial receptor to which glucose binds strongly and with high selectivity. Such a receptor molecule could be used in glucose-monitoring devices or ...

In recent years, interest has grown around two investigational peptides, BPC-157 and TB-500, proposed as part of a combined research-oriented protocol to explore tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and ...

A study published in The EMBO Journal opens new perspectives to better understand how the molecular mechanisms involved in regenerative medicine work. The study focuses on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF ...

This discovery is fascinating because bitter taste receptors are expressed in extra-oral tissues and the new study shows the potential of our cells to sense not only external but also internal signals ...

In the search for treatments for COVID-19, many researchers are focusing their attention on a specific protein that allows the virus to infect human cells. Called the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, ...

The spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus can adopt at least ten distinct structural states, when in contact with the human virus receptor ACE2, according to new research. The ...

The results of studies led by scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research suggest how a receptor that helps to conserve energy when food is scarce may be the key to the development of safer ...
