Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered new insights into the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder (ASD ...

Developed the only existing method for predicting subsequent life span (Rea et al., 2005, Nature Genetics, 37:894-898). Nicotinic receptors: characterized the molecular biology of nicotinic receptors ...

Research highlights the potential of deep learning in creating proteins that neutralize snake venom, offering new solutions ...

Miwa’s initial work showed that lynx1 was concentrated in the nervous system. Additional studies in collaboration with Ibañez-Tallon showed that lynx-1 altered the function of nicotinic acetylcholine ...

The neuromuscular junction contains three types of nicotinic receptors. Two are on the muscle surface (one is junctional and the other extrajunctional), and the third is on the parasympathetic ...

Neuroscientist Janna Moen, PhD, never expected her doctoral research on nicotinic receptor pharmacology to intersect so ...

To understand at the molecular level how genetic variability, particularly with respect to nicotinic receptor genes, influences risk for drug dependence and co-morbid psychiatric disorders. Current ...

Nicotine, a major component of tobacco smoke, could exert either nonreceptor-mediated biological effects or, more importantly, act on the different subtypes of nicotinic brain receptors ...

The AI-designed proteins neutralized lethal 3FTx toxins found in snake venom, which are often the reason that traditional ...
