Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a ...

Serotonin receptor agonists are a group of medications that activate the serotonin receptors in the central nervous system. A low serotonin level can lead to difficulty sleeping, depression, anxiety, ...

Specific receptors in the vagus nerve help detect and control inflammation in mice. If the same is true for humans, these receptors could be the target of future therapies for inflammatory conditions ...

Researchers have discovered the exact structure of the receptor that makes our sensory nerves tingle when we eat sushi garnished with wasabi. And because the "wasabi receptor" is also involved in pain ...

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold ...

Nerve growth factor receptor TrkA (in green) and co-receptor NRP1 (in purple) are coexpressed in the same nerve cells in mice. Researchers at the NYU Pain Research Center have found a new receptor for ...
