Gene variations contribute to aggression and anger in women
Ever wonder why some women seem to be more ill-tempered than others? University of Pittsburgh researchers have found that behaviors such as anger, hostility and aggression may be genetic, rooted in variations in a serotonin receptor gene. view more (2007-03-12)
Neurons use chemical 'chords' to shape signaling
Researchers have discovered that neurons can use two different neurotransmitters that target the same receptor on a receiving neuron to shape the transmission of a nerve impulse. view more (2008-02-28)
Scientists determine structure of brain receptor implicated in epilepsy and PMT
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have published new research in the journal Molecular Pharmacology identifying the structure of a receptor in the brain implicated in conditions such as epilepsy and pre-menstrual tension. The same receptor has also been reported to be highly sensitive to... view more... (2008-03-10)
Nicotinic receptors may be important targets for treatment of multiple addictions
For years, scientists have known that some people are biologically more susceptible to drug addiction than others, but they have only been able to speculate why. view more (2007-08-16)
Breast cancer subtypes linked to survival from secondary brain tumors
Screening breast cancers for three receptors could help doctors predict the likely survival of patients with brain metastases. view more (2008-02-28)
MDC researchers prevent virus induced myocarditis
Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia can be a consequence of myocarditis - an inflammation of the cardiac muscle that can be caused by the Coxsackievirus. view more (2009-04-03)
A new Eph receptor tyrosine kinase overexpressed in gastric cancer was found
The potential role of Eph receptor and ephrin ligand family in human cancer is receiving increasing attention. Compared with other Eph receptors, EphA4 is distinguished by its ability to bind to both type A ephrins and most type B ephrins. view more (2008-10-29)
Crucial Factors in Lymphoma Development and Survival Discovered
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have discovered an important factor in the development of B-cell lymphomas, one of the fastest growing forms of cancer. view more (2008-06-24)
Previously unseen switch regulates breast cancer response to estrogen
A tiny modification called methylation on estrogen receptors prolongs the life of these growth-driving molecules in breast cancer cells, according to research by scientists at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute. view more (2008-05-09)
Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
Drugs that treat depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions and that target a particular protein on brain cells might not be triggering the most appropriate response in those cells, new research suggests. view more (2008-01-02)
Rapidly rising PSA before treatment is key indicator of cancer spread
Results of a new Fox Chase Cancer Center study show that men with a rapidly rising PSA level before treatment have a high probability of metastatic disease and should receive hormone therapy in addition to radiation. view more (2006-11-09)
PSA predicts treatment success in advanced prostate cancer
A test used to detect prostate cancer can also help doctors know when treatment is working. view more (2006-08-24)
Estrogen protects liver after traumatic injury
Researchers have identified the receptor pathway used by estrogen to decrease liver injury after trauma and hemorrhage. view more (2007-04-02)
Targeting nerve growth factor may cure liver cancer
Nerve growth factor (NGF), as the name says, is an essential peptide factor for the growth and differentiation of neuronal cells. Therefore we can imagine that this growth factor is important for the nervous system including brain. view more (2007-09-19)
Integrins as receptors give insight into rotavirus and diarrhea
Eleven years ago, Dr. Mary Estes of Baylor College of Medicine and her colleagues discovered the first viral enterotoxin, rotavirus NSP4, a toxic protein that affects the intestines, causing diarrhea. view more (2008-07-01)
UVa Scientists Hot on Trail of Therapies for Deadly Lung Failure
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified a molecular target, or receptor, for potential drugs to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a sudden and life-threatening failure of the lung. view more (2006-02-22)
Specific antagonism lowers blood pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) is associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, and the frequent use of drugs known as NSAIDs, for example to treat individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, can cause hypertension. view more (2007-08-17)
HIV accessory protein disables host immunity via receptor-protein intermediary
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that an HIV-1 accessory protein called Vpr destroys the host cell's ability to survive by binding to a host receptor. view more (2006-03-31)
Impact of cannabis on bones changes with age, study finds
Scientists investigating the effects of cannabis on bone health have found that its impact varies dramatically with age. view more (2009-08-14)
Odd protein interaction guides development of olfactory system
Scientists have discovered a strange mechanism for the development of the fruit fly antennal lobe, an intricate structure that converts the chaotic stew of odors in the environment into discrete signals in the brain. view more (2007-10-30)
