The regulation of inflammation has been better understood thanks to research from Trinity College Dublin scientists. Recent research has revealed that a crucial immunological alarm protein that was previously thought to slow down the immune response really has the opposite effect.
Washington [US], October 20 (ANI): Researchers publish the three-dimensional structure of the B cell antigen receptor, shedding new light on its composition.
Washington [US], October 20 (ANI): New substances that activate adrenalin receptors instead of opioid receptors have a similar pain-relieving effect to opiates, but without the negative aspects such as respiratory depression and addiction. New findings are a milestone in the development of n
Washington [US], October 19 (ANI): Researchers analyzed the structures of the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant and its receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), to gain insight into the variant's potential animal reservoir.
Washington [US], September 6 (ANI): The surface of a cell, which is covered with tens to hundreds of thousands of molecules that assist immune cells to distinguish friend from foe, can reveal a cell's secrets. Some of those projecting molecules are antigens that cause the immune system to a
Tokyo [Japan], September 6 (ANI): One of the most basic senses of animal species is the sense of smell. It is essential for finding food, recognising attractiveness, and detecting danger. Humans detect odorants using olfactory receptors found in olfactory nerve cells. These odorant sensory
Washington [US], August 21 (ANI): According to a recent study, the unconventional way mosquitoes analyse odours may help explain why they are so good at finding humans to bite.
Washington [US], August 19 (ANI): The findings of a study suggest that the unconventional way mosquitoes process odours could help explain why they are so good at finding humans to bite.
Arizona [US], August 5 (ANI): Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases continue to be one of the leading causes of death. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a major factor in these conditions.
Cologne [Germany], July 8 (ANI): Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, in conjunction with colleagues in China, uncovered natural cellular components that trigger crucial plant immune responses.
Washington [US], June 19 (ANI): A research study explains how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates social behaviours via its action on D2 receptors (D2R). The cerebellum is essential for but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviours.
Washington [US], June 17 (ANI): Researchers uncovered how dopamine in the cerebellum modulates social behaviours via its action on D2 receptors (D2R). The cerebellum is essential for sensorimotor control but also contributes to higher cognitive functions including social behaviours.
