CD14 and the Fcγ receptors CD32 and CD64 belong to a group of cell surface receptors engaged in phagocytosis by various types of phagocytes, including macrophages, dendritic cells and monocytes 14.

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Zoonotic transmission of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been found to result in infections in more than 30 mammalian ...

UCSF researchers develop customizable SNIPR sensors that activate engineered cells only near tumors, promising precise cancer ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have determined the full-length structure of a blood pressure-regulating hormone receptor ...

Immune cells are capable of detecting infections just like a sniffer dog, using special sensors known as Toll-like receptors, or TLRs for short. But what signals activate TLRs, and what is the ...

Engineered receptors could lead to more precisely targeted, effective cancer therapies with fewer side effects than existing ...

Label-free biosensor assay detects Toll-like receptor signals and even discriminates between different signaling pathways.

A healthy brain balances “activate” and “inhibit” signaling in its neural microcircuitry, with the inhibitory signaling often provided by cell receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA.   Unexpected ...
