Blocking Piezo2, a protein receptor that senses mechanical forces in tissues, may be a new way to slow IPF progression, per a ...

We might have big brains and fancy gadgets, but some animals are wired with senses straight out of a sci-fi script. We're ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in ...

Both ibuprofen and naproxen potently inhibit hTAS1R2–TAS1R3 receptors that sense sweetness in a dose-dependent manner. The ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study. Researchers focused on a group of interacting genes called the Hippo pathway, which serve as ...

Here are just a few of the ways that climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, is transforming our spring senses. It sounds a bit like a finger running over a fine-tooth comb ...

The AMPA group of brain receptors have mostly been assumed to be calcium impermeable and so were not thought to contribute to the calcium-dependent mechanisms underlying learning and memory.

This paper shows that the synthetic opioid fentanyl induces respiratory depression in rodents. This effect is revised by the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone, as expected. Unexpectedly, the ...
