Estimated values of CB1 receptor density obtained by quantitative Western blot were of the same order of magnitude

Genome-scale CRISPR screening reveals that C3aR signaling is critical for rapid capture of fungi by macrophages "The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) invades, replicates within, and destroys macrophages We identified pathways that have not been previously implicated in Hc interaction with macrophages, including We demonstrated that whereas C3aR is dispensable for macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria and latex beads and uncover a novel and specific role for C3aR in macrophage recognition of fungi."

characteristics with the 2 cases we previously reported as follows: (a) elderly (74-87 years at diagnosis), (b) male Our observations with these prominent commonalities may provide new insights into the phenotype and characteristics

Here we developed and validated a label-free, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based cell

designed from the intracellular loops of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that act in an allosteric manner Over the past 2 decades, pepducins have progressed initially from pharmacologic tools used to manipulate GPCR activity in an orthosteric site-independent manner to compounds with therapeutic potential that

Discovering new ways to ameliorate pathological angiogenesis may bypass organ fibrosis.

to the development of drugs with superior efficacy and reduced side effects in heart disease, pain management accompanied by robust microglial and astrocytic hypertrophy, which suggest a protective glial response that may

However, our predictions were many folds shorter than those determined experimentally.

dopaminergic and hippocampal circuits, combined with the anti-inflammatory effects of CB2 receptor activation, make

Furthermore, a plethora of TRPM3 variants that result from alternative splicing have been identified and the majority This complexity makes it difficult to obtain a clear picture of TRPM3 characteristics. However, a clear picture is needed to unravel TRPM3's full potential as experimental tool, diagnostic marker

Ligands eliciting biased signalling may constitute better drugs with higher efficacy and fewer adverse However, ligand bias is very complex, making reproducibility and description challenging.

Extensive efforts of structural biology have been made on the study of GPCRs. Recently, AlphaFold2 has been developed to predict structure models of many functionally important proteins However, the predicted models and experimental structures were different in many aspects including the

Despite a better understanding of the disease, the current mainstay of treatment cannot modify pathogenesis provide insights into some novel strategies, including allosterism and the targeting of oligomers, which may

cell-free as well as cellular NanoBRET-based binding studies in a non-isotopic and high-throughput manner

The second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a key mediator in many GPCR signaling pathways The GloSensor™ cAMP assay enables real-time monitoring of signaling downstream of many GPCRs. However, thermal instability of the biosensor may pose a problem for in vivo studies.

Many such biosensors are based on the principle of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and we have This methodology would be compatible with other mammalian species and with many biosensors.

These results suggest that GPR3 expression in RGCs helps maintain neuronal survival and accelerates axonal
