GPCRs are a large family of receptors found in the cell membrane of almost all living organisms. They are responsible for cell communication, acting like sentinels between cells, ready to recognise ...

Animals depend on their sense of smell to locate food, identify mates and evade danger. In mammals, olfactory perception typically relies on G protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) pathways. Insects, by ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...
