The serotonin1A (5-HT1A) receptor is an important member of the superfamily of seven-
transmembrane domain G-protein-coupled receptors. We have examined the modulatory …

As interest in the application of microbubbles grows, it is becoming increasingly important to
understand the factors affecting their formation and properties in order to effectively generate …

The jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) plant produces esters of long-chain alcohols and fatty
acids (waxes) as a seed lipid energy reserve. This is in contrast to the triglycerides found in …

We previously determined the structure of neurotensin receptor NTSR1 in an active-like
