Expression Analysis Highlights AXL as a Candidate Zika Virus Entry Receptor in Neural Stem Cells.
Because you can have the same receptor in one area that causes an excitatory effect that in another causes an inhibitory effect.
Previous studies on rats identified the receptor in the brain on which ketamine acts, and showed that blocking this receptor reduces background activity in the brain.
On inspecting the DNA sequence, the scientists noticed its similarities to another gene responsible for a light-sensitive receptor in the eye.
Arena says lorcaserin can stimulate a receptor in the brain that is thought to regulate food intake without binding to somewhat similar receptors that cause the heart problems.
Our sleep cycles are run by our circadian rhythms, which are set by a tiny receptor in the retina that is highly sensitive to light and darkness.
According to Romanovsky, the going theory is that a newly discovered receptor in neural endings (TRPM8, if you were wondering) reacts to low temperatures.
Working with colleagues at Harvard, Dr. Horvitz has found a new type of receptor in C. elegans that responds to the chemical serotonin.
As I close my eyes and chew, some long dormant receptor in my mind comes alive and for a split second it's 1986 again and I am eating a hamburger at a family cookout in Chicago.
Dr. Weiss, who wrote the new report with Dr. Ahuja and Dr. Dolan, showed in laboratory tests that H.I.V. latches onto the receptor in place of its intended guest, the CCL5 hormone.
It turns out that when progesterone sticks to the progesterone receptor in cancer cells, it alters how the oestrogen receptor works, and effectively puts a second brake on tumour growth.
