Structural snapshots capture nucleotide release at the μ-opioid receptor

Structural snapshots capture nucleotide release at the μ-opioid receptor

Data reporting No statistical methods were used to predetermine sample size. The experiments were not randomized, and the investigators were not blinded to allocation during experiments and outcome assessment. Materials Alvimopan, naloxone, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, DAMGO and loperamide were purchased from Cayman Chemicals and MedChemExpress. Detergents were purchased from Anatrace. The radioligand [3H]naltrexone (specific activity 48.19 Ci per mmol) was generously provided …

Scientists discover the receptor that helps your brain clean itself—and fight Alzheimer’s

Scientists discover the receptor that helps your brain clean itself—and fight Alzheimer’s

UCSF scientists have discovered how microglia engulf and break down amyloid beta, a protein that builds up in Alzheimer’s, with devastating consequences for the brain. In Alzheimer’s disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain. But in some people, immune cells called microglia break down these proteins before they can cause harm. This leads …
