CD14 and the Fcγ receptors CD32 and CD64 belong to a group of cell surface receptors engaged in phagocytosis by various types of phagocytes, including macrophages, dendritic cells and monocytes 14.

Most communication between neurons is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate. The finding that temperature influences how glutamate binds to neuronal receptor proteins to initiate signal ...

With the advent of next-generation technologies, a large number of genetic diseases have been characterized with the causative genes and gene modifiers.

Scientists at Loyola University Chicago discovered that the heart possesses "sweet taste" receptors similar to those found on ...

CD163 might not be the most exciting name in the world, but behind it lies one of the body's most important defense receptors ...

We are particularly interested in understanding how receptors located on the surface of developing axons and neurons interact with extracellular ligands to guide the development of the nervous system ...

Fc-gamma receptors (FcγRs) are a group of cell surface proteins found on a range of immune cells. These proteins represent the primary cell signaling method between IgG antibodies and our immune ...

This new study is the first to identify specific "sweet taste" receptors, known as TAS1R2 and TAS1R3, on the surface of heart ...
