This fundamental study reports the effects of the psychedelic drug psilocin on iPSC-derived human cortical neurons, analyzing different aspects of structural and functional neuronal plasticity. The ...

This indicates that GLP-1 receptor agonists lead to greater reduction in overall body fat than that in muscle mass, resulting in an overall body fat percentage decrease of around 4.5%.

Testosterone helps release growth hormones, which stimulate tissue growth, and it connects with nuclear receptors in DNA, which causes protein synthesis (or muscle growth). Turner points out that ...

In a surprising discovery, scientists have found that the heart possesses 'sweet taste' receptors, similar to those on our tongues, and that stimulating these receptors with sweet substances can ...

Additionally, their research may explain why high consumption of artificially sweetened beverages is linked to arrhythmogenesis, or an irregular heartbeat. Not only are these sweet taste receptors ...

The Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction is a powerful model system to study these questions, where two glutamatergic motor neurons, the strong phasic-like Is and weak tonic-like Ib, co-innervate ...

γ2-Containing receptors are typically found at synapses and mediate phasic inhibition caused by the synaptic release of GABA. In contrast, δ-containing receptors are expressed in more circumscribed ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut hormone and neuropeptide involved in the regulation of food intake and glucose metabolism via GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs). GLP-1 analogs are approved for ...
