Researchers found a small, specialized group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus that influence hunger and weight gain. These ...

A research group has identified the so-called PNOC/NPY nerve cells in the brains of mice. When activated, these cells ...

It is also a powerful driver of pain in animals and humans, and is released by cells from injured or diseased tissue. To transmit pain signals, nerve growth factor binds to a receptor called ...

Scientists found brain cells behind semaglutide’s weight-loss power—and they don’t cause the nasty side effects.

Discover how blocking an opioid receptor could treat dopamine-related disorders without addictive risks, offering new hope ...

Nerve cells in the hypothalamus: These neurons influence eating behavior and weight gain. Hormone-controlled: These nerve ...

In a bid to understand why mosquitoes may be more attracted to one human than another, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have mapped specialized receptors on the insects' nerve cells ...

When that happens, the nerve cells get too much calcium, and that can speed up damage to them. NMDA receptor antagonists make it harder for glutamate to "dock" -- but they still let important ...

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is a developmentally regulated ... on target cells (the neuromuscular junction and nerve cell, respectively); therefore, clinical status correlates with circulating ...

It is also a powerful driver of pain in animals and humans, and is released by cells from injured or diseased tissue. To transmit pain signals, nerve growth factor binds to a receptor called ...
