Signaling bias is the ability of a receptor to differentially activate downstream signaling pathways in response to different ligands. Bias investigations have been hindered by inconsistent results in different cellular contexts.

Signal Evolution: ‘Shaky’ Evidence for Sensory Bias [PDF]
A study of tropical crickets suggests that a twitchy response to ultrasonic bat calls has been co-opted for mate location. The neuroethological approach picks apart some surprising evolutionary steps that could inform the widespread occurrence of complex duetting behaviour.

Neural Signals for the Detection of Unintentional Race Bias [PDF]
We examined the hypothesis that unintentional race-biased responses may occur despite the activation of neural systems that detect the need for control. Participants completed a sequential priming task that induced race-biased responses on certain trials while electroencephalography was recorded. The error-related negativity (ERN) wave, a component of

Structural basis of glucocorticoid receptor signaling bias
Abstract Dissociation between the healthy and toxic effects of cortisol, a major stress‐responding hormone has been a widely used strategy to develop anti‐inflammatory glucocorticoids with fewer side effects. Such strategy falls short when treating brain disorders as timing and activity state within large‐scale neuronal networks ...

Opioid analgesics are elective for treating moderate to severe pain but their use is restricted by severe side effects. Signaling bias has been proposed as a viable means for improving this situation.

The dramatic female sex bias observed in human lupus is thought to be due, at least in part, to estrogens. Using mouse models, we have shown that estrogens, acting through estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) promote lupus development and contribute ...

Affective Bias Through the Lens of Signal Detection Theory [PDF]
Affective bias - a propensity to focus on negative information at the expense of positive information - is a core feature of many mental health problems. However, it can be caused by wide range of possible underlying cognitive mechanisms. Here we illustrate this by focusing on one particular behavioural signature of affective bias - increased tendency ...

Arrestin translocation and signaling have come to the fore of the G protein-coupled receptor molecular pharmacology field. Some receptor–arrestin interactions are relatively well understood and considered responsible for specific therapeutic or adverse ...

Bias-inducing allosteric binding site in mu-opioid receptor signaling
G-protein-biased agonism of the mu-opioid receptor (μ-OR) is emerging as a promising strategy in analgesia. A deep understanding of how biased agonists modulate and differentiate G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) signaling pathways and how this is ...
