Opioid receptors are fantastic targets for treating pain—but unfortunately, the drugs that target them can be addictive. Because the molecules suppress breathing and heart function, those drugs can ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the complex mechanisms of drug addiction, highlighting the crucial role of astrocytic G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). This research offers ...

A panel of fluorescently labelled G-protein-coupled-receptor proteins expressed in living cells has confirmed that, when bound by an activating ligand molecule, these receptors form different ...
