Revising Berg-Purcell for finite receptor kinetics [PDF]
From nutrient uptake, to chemoreception, to synaptic transmission, many systems in cell biology depend on molecules diffusing and binding to membrane receptors. Mathematical analysis of such systems often neglects the fact that receptors process molecules at finite kinetic rates.

Research Progress on NK Cell Receptors and Their Signaling Pathways
Natural killer cells (NK cells) play an important role in innate immunity. NK cells recognize self and nonself depending on the balance of activating receptors and inhibitory receptors. After binding to their ligands, NK cell receptors trigger subsequent

During the past year, the database of ligand-receptor complexes has essentially doubled. These new results have immeasurably extended and expanded our view of cell surface receptor structure and function. The flood of data has revealed new models for receptor cross-linking, demonstrating the potential stringency of the extracellular requirements for ...

Orexin-1 receptor-cannabinoid CB1 receptor heterodimerization results in both ligand-dependent and -independent coordinated alterations of receptor localization and function [PDF]
Following inducible expression in HEK293 cells, the human orexin-1 receptor was targeted to the cell surface but became internalized following exposure to the peptide agonist orexin A.

Aptamers for Targeted Drug Delivery
Aptamers are a class of therapeutic oligonucleotides that form specific three-dimensional structures that are dictated by their sequences. They are typically generated by an iterative screening process of complex nucleic acid libraries employing a ...

The Cell Surface Receptors Ror1/2 Control Cardiac Myofibroblast Differentiation
Background A hallmark of heart failure is cardiac fibrosis, which results from the injury‐induced differentiation response of resident fibroblasts to myofibroblasts that deposit extracellular matrix.

An extracellular steric seeding mechanism for Eph-ephrin signaling platform assembly [PDF]
Erythropoetin-producing hepatoma (Eph) receptors are cell-surface protein tyrosine kinases mediating cell-cell communication. Upon activation, they form signaling clusters.
