Scientists have identified a molecular intermediate of a serotonin receptor that is involved in diseases such as depression and schizophrenia. The study points to a potentially new target for ...

Synthetic and inexpensive to produce, aptamers are attractive alternatives to antibodies for biomedical diagnostics and therapeutics. When new aptamer binders are needed, for example, to detect a new ...

We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or bacteria, marking them for elimination by the immune system. But not all of us are familiar with aptamers: short ...

A method for engineering ultra-selective aptamers for biomedical diagnostics and treatments has been developed. We have all heard of antibodies – proteins produced by our bodies to bind to viruses or ...

A new study published in “The EMBO Journal” points to new potential strategies to treat psychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders that are not well addressed by current medications. Dr. Bianca ...
