At CA1-subicular presynaptic terminals 5-HT1B and GABAB receptors colocalize.

Subsequent experiments using primary astrocyte cultures revealed that Gi -DREADD stimulation significantly of the astrocytic Gi pathway attenuated intracellular calcium transients triggered by LPS treatment, suggesting

Crystal structures suggest ligand access to the orthosteric binding site of MT1 and MT2 receptors through The side-chain flexibility of Tyr5.38 was significantly different in the two receptor subtypes, as assessed Our simulations also suggest that the open state of Tyr5.38 generates a small pocket on the surface of

Many cause receptor misfolding and failure to reach the cell surface. that engage nascent mutant GPCRs in the endoplasmic reticulum, stabilizing folding and "rescuing" cell surface We previously demonstrated rescue of cell surface expression of luteinizing hormone receptor mutants Cell surface expression was severely reduced to ≤18% of wild-type (WT) for 11, modestly reduced to 66% of certain mutant FSHRs with severely reduced cell surface expression.

intracellular context ("in-cell") or those focused on characterizing molecules or events at the cell surface some key NMR techniques applied for on-cell NMR studies through both solution- and solid-state NMR and survey focus on the application of on-cell NMR spectroscopy to characterize ligand interactions with cell surface We also provide a brief survey of the applicability of on-cell NMR approaches to other classes of cell surface molecules.

present study examined the interaction between D2 and GABAB receptors using transient applications of sub-saturating heterologous facilitation was modelled based on the known cooperative interaction between the G protein βγ subunits The results suggest that the cooperative interaction between G βγ subunits and GIRK channels determines

The TAS1R2 and TAS1R3 subunits are members of a small family of class C GPCRs whose members share the TAS1R2 contains the primary binding site for most of the sweet-tasting compounds, including natural sugars ligand affinities of hTAS1R2-VFT were drastically reduced through the introduction of single amino acid substitutions

This review focuses on the role of neuropeptides in maintaining the homeostasis of the ocular surface

And they avoid the costly surprises that appear when in vitro conclusions collide with human physiology These nonlinearities matter: Competitive inhibition decreases as substrate increases. Uncompetitive inhibition strengthens as substrate increases—opposite of intuition. A compound may appear benign with one substrate and problematic with another. Kenakin reveals  the substrate strategy needed for credible DDI assessment.

It’s survival. Suddenly, the anomalies aligned.

The resulting multiparametric datasets are well-suited for GPCR research, where receptor trafficking, For GPCR assay developers, HCS supports:  Quantitative visualization of receptor internalization and Assay Design and Pilot Optimization Successful HCS begins with a clearly defined biological question Probe panels—such as lysosomal dyes or cytoskeletal markers—can be integrated to support multiplexed At Celtarys, we remain committed to enabling this transition and supporting researchers as they design

Scientific progress doesn’t guarantee startup success; strategic clarity does. By the time it surfaces, you’ve lost two months of budget and alignment. 2️⃣ Milestone redefinition Most biotech founders don’t suffer from having the wrong people. They suffer because everyone has a different idea of what their role actually is.   And suddenly, it becomes obvious what to kill and what to scale. ✅ That’s the power of strategic realignment

Surgery electives meant long nights, constant patient responsibilities, and unpredictable call schedules For Hodson, one sustained curiosity thread involved a protein released by alpha cells in the pancreas Suddenly, the puzzle snapped into place. A long-running side project became a central insight.

Others show subtle curvature or slope deviations. It ’s a screening tool, not a substitute for rigorous Schild validation. Common revelations include: Mixtures of receptor subtypes  producing hybrid response patterns.

Suddenly, questions that were too risky or expensive to ask in the “manual era” became accessible. Today, success depends less on manual precision and more on experimental design, data interpretation,

It was supposed to be just a summer project—routine pipetting, repetitive assays, a box to tick before Yet that summer research placement cracked open a new reality: the thrill of asking questions no one She moved from “What am I supposed to do?” to “What happens if I try this?” It might be quiet, subtle—an idea you can’t stop thinking about. Pay attention to that. For young scientists, that summer moment is waiting.

Suddenly, computational shortcuts weren’t enough. In his view, collaboration is not a bonus or an optional supplement—it is the only way GPCR drug discovery Supporting them is a medicinal chemist who can design and synthesize new scaffolds when commercial libraries If docking can suggest binding modes but can’t resolve nanomolar potency differences, they say so. Biased signaling, allosteric binding sites, and subtype selectivity mean there is rarely a straight line

such as differentiating agonists from antagonists, predicting biased agonism, or achieving receptor subtype For Carlsson, a prediction is only valid if it survives wet-lab testing.   If a method can’t resolve subtle potency differences, the team prefers to acknowledge that limitation But success depends on researchers who can manage expectations, build trust, and integrate across disciplines
