An international team led by researchers at the University of Toronto has found a compound in ginger, called furanodienone ...

A small number of Toll-like receptors can detect a broad range of human pathogens, as well as a variety of other molecules that indicate tissue damage, by a process called pattern recognition.

A Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences researcher has received National Institutes of Health funding to gain better understanding of the neural mechanisms underpinning drug-mediated ...

However, the receptors had one restriction: they could only recognize molecules that were on the surface of other cells. The system relied on the tight physical interactions between cells.

Most cell signals are chemical in nature. For example, prokaryotic organisms have sensors that detect nutrients and help them navigate toward food sources. In multicellular organisms, growth ...

When it brings its tongue back in, the molecules contact special receptors and the snake senses the molecules as a smell. A fly tastes with its feet. At the end of a fly’s legs is a foot-like ...

Engineered immune cells called CAR-T cells are used in the treatment of cancer. Researchers from Uppsala University have now discovered that CAR molecules can be transferred from the CAR-T cells to ...
