In a discovery that could guide the development of next-generation antidepressants and antipsychotic medications, researchers ...

Humans have several million sensory neurons in our noses, and each of these has one type of odorant receptor. Altogether, we have about 400 different types of receptors with overlapping sensitivity.

Odorant receptors, says Potter, are the most well studied by scientists and are thought to help mosquitoes distinguish between animals and humans. Gustatory receptors detect carbon dioxide.

“The overall conclusion is that, through one innate immune receptor, with two different ligands, you can trigger two different types of outcome.” LPS, also known as endotoxin, is a molecule found in ...

Because different types of receptors are responsible for different neuronal activities, the finding points to another means by which a brain or nervous system can regulate the labyrinthine, life ...

The researchers designed two different types of receptors containing SNAPtag: chimeric antigen receptors and SynNotch receptors, synthetic receptors that can be programmed to turn virtually any ...

There are three different types of receptors called cones at the back of the eye. They feed information on colors in the environment to the brain, which then interprets them.

The octopus and squid receptors evolved about 300 million years ago, early in the species’ histories. But it’s impossible to tell whether hunting style or receptor type came first or if the ...
