Researchers in the department of Pharmacology link orphan receptor MRGRPX2 to opioid-induced itching and create a tool to study the receptor more precisely.

For the first time, 黑料网 researchers crystalized the structure of LSD attached to a human serotonin receptor of a brain cell, and they may have discovered why an 鈥渁cid trip鈥� lasts so long.

黑料网 Lineberger researchers find how triple negative breast cancer cells are able to bypass treatment with trametinib, an FDA-approved drug. The researchers also used lab models of breast cancer to test a potential treatment approach that could prevent resistance.

Dr. Kang-Ling Liao, a postdoctoral research associate in Alan Jones’ and Tim Elston’s labs, discovered a 鈥淪hadow detector鈥� and published the work in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. This shadow detector, comprised of a number of G-protein signaling molecules, is used by plants to control photosynthetic efficiency. The problem of...

黑料网 scientists expand the use of light to control protein activity in cells. Klaus Hahn and Nikolay Dokholyan have published a paper in Science, detailing how they use light- or ligand-sensitive domains to modulate the structural disorder of diverse proteins, thereby generating robust allosteric switches. The title of the paper...
