In fact, there are hundreds of receptor types found in cells ... signaling molecule joins with an appropriate receptor on a cell surface, this binding triggers a chain of events that not only ...

The Falke group is currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of on-off switching of components within the chemosensory array, especially the mechanisms by which transmembrane receptors bind ...

They have unique cell surface receptors that are generated by randomly assorting genes. These receptors allow T cells to sense and respond to diverse types of infection. CD8 + T cell exhaustion is ...

A new twist on a decades-old anticancer strategy has shown powerful effects against multiple cancer types in a ... in the lab from human cells, to target a cell-surface receptor called DR5 ...

So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers wondered what purpose they might serve. A recent study has revealed one of their functions: mobilizing immune ...

Engineered immune cells called CAR-T cells are used in the treatment of cancer. Researchers from Uppsala University have now ...

A “checkpoint” receptor that often resides on the surface of immune system cells, the PD-1 molecule works as a type of off switch that keeps immune cells from attacking other cells.

Recycling takes place in our cells ... receptors could weakly bind to them, the researchers were able to trigger the degradation of the viral protein. However, if they modified the surface so ...
