We first asked whether the stress hormone was regulating the stem cells directly and checked by taking out the receptor for corticosterone, but this turned out to be wrong. Instead, we found that the stress hormone actually acts on a cluster of dermal cells underneath the hair follicle, known as the dermal papilla, dermal papilla is known to be critical for activating hair follicle stem cells, but none of the previously identified factors secreted from dermal papilla changed when stress hormone levels were altered. Rather, the stress hormone prevented dermal papilla cells from secreting Gas6, a molecule that the researchers showed can activate the hair follicle stem cells. – Sekyu Choi	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
It also makes sense that it will be more transmissible from a biological perspective as the two mutations act at the receptor-binding domain of the virus, but there have been no official transmission studies to date. – Peter Chin-Hong	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
The progesterone receptor is an example of how favorable genetic variants that were introduced into modern humans by mixing with Neandertals can have effects in people living today. – Hugo Zeberg	Found on CNN 3 years ago
Its a very complicated receptor binding process compared to most virus spike proteins, fluandHIVhave a more simple activation process. – Donald Benton	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
We can then start to think about therapeutics that would fit somewhere either in the receptor surface or somewhere in the spike itself that then act as drugs. – Antoni Wrobel	Found on FOX News 3 years ago
When you activate this receptor, it makes you sleepy, many sleep aids that we take work on GABA. – Raj Dasgupta	Found on CNN 3 years ago
This is the first orally-available GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist and that's a pretty big deal, just being able to take a pill every day makes it much more accessible. – Mansoor Husain	Found on Reuters 4 years ago

I was most impressed by the significant reduction in the receptor negative breast cancer with adherence to the Mediterranean diet, this study is an important contribution to the efforts being studied to prevent (estrogen-receptor, progesterone-receptor)-negative breast cancer which is known to be more aggressive and higher risk of recurrence. – Sandhya Pruthi	Found on CNN 7 years ago
Entresto was shown to be better than enalapril (a standard angiostensin receptor blocker) for reducing these adverse outcomes. – Robert Kloner	Found on FOX News 8 years ago
Viruses are pretty simple organisms and they all have antigens on their surface that are necessary to get them inside cells, everybody knows what the target for MERS is, it is the core spike protein, which is one of things that targets the cell receptor and allows it to get in. It's a single protein that can be used to induce an immune response. – Ripley Ballou	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
Taken together, these findings show that any abnormality in the way BDNF communicates with its receptor and its associated intracardiac signaling appears to unlock a cascade of chemical glitches that eventually leads to poor cardiac function. – Ning Feng	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
