A new study suggests that eye drops developed by Columbia University researchers could be a more effective–and comfortable–therapy for a common eye disease currently treated with injections into the ...

GPCRs (G protein-coupled receptors), also known as 7 transmembrane domain receptors, are the largest receptor family in the human genome, with ≈800 members. GPCRs regulate nearly every aspect of human ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these molecular vehicles identify and bind to the right cargo ...

Summary: Researchers have identified a previously unknown “hook-like” domain in the tail of the kinesin-2 motor protein that explains how these molecular machines select the right cargo inside cells.

The kinesin-2 motor protein uses a hook-like adaptor and cargo-binding (HAC) domain to recognize and transport cargo along microtubule highways, revealing a cellular logistics system critical for ...

University of Michigan researchers have uncovered new details of the process that HIV uses to hijack cells’ transportation systems for its own survival. In addition to overturning a decades-old theory ...

Open annotations (there are currently 0 annotations on this page). Cells communicate by releasing proteins that bind to receptors on recipient cells, triggering a cascade of events that alter the cell ...
