About one in eight U.S. adults are currently taking a GLP-1 drug such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound to treat diabetes, ...

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

A team has demonstrated new mechanisms that are involved in the development of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases. A team led by LMU researchers Christian Weber and Yvonne Döring has demonstrated ...

Innate immune sensors – known as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) – detect specific molecular components of bacterial or ...

Florida Atlantic University has received a $2.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate how an immune-related receptor in neurons plays a fundamental role in brain function ...

Image of a cortical neuron (white) expressing serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptors (multicolor). New work shows that engaging 5-HT2A receptors inside cells, but not on the cell surface, encourages cell ...

New findings that snakes thrive without the hunger hormone ghrelin suggest future obesity drugs could safely mute hunger at its source, complementing today’s satiety‑boosting therapies.

Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for ...
