This visual abstract depicts the discovery that chemosensory receptors in a subset of mammalian olfactory sensing neurons are structurally distinct from GPCRs, and multiple subtypes are expressed ...

Using protein structure prediction tools, researchers have uncovered receptor structure-function relationships to improve ...

Weng and his team reveal that out of hundreds of animal species, amphibians, specifically frogs, have the highest number of bitter taste receptors, known as TAS2Rs. While humans have 25 TAS2Rs ...

are unique because of their ability to generate electrical signals. Although several types of excitable cells exist — including neurons, muscle cells, and touch receptor cells — all of them ...
