Next-generation drugs for the evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus

Next-generation drugs for the evolving SARS-CoV-2 virus

Next-generation drugs for the evolving SARS-CoV-2 virusThere is increasing evidence that new variants of SARS-CoV-2 are appearing that cannot be treated with Paxlovid.  This means that the next generation of antivirals will soon be needed to reduce the severity of...

New AKAP-targeted cADDis cAMP Sensors

New AKAP-targeted cADDis SensorsMost cAMP measurements are global measurements of total cellular cAMP. However when biosensors are targeted to different subcellular domains, they often reveal more nuanced views of very localized cAMP signaling. There are many...

A breathtaking model for the cellular detection of hypoxia

A breathtaking model for the cellular detection of hypoxia

In a recent paper, Peng and colleagues (Peng et al. 2023) use a variety of new approaches, and fresh ideas, to create a molecular model for how the cells of the carotid body sense the oxygen levels in our blood and use this to control our breathing. Surprisingly, key...

Olfactory GPCRs Upregulated in Cancer

Olfactory GPCRs Upregulated in Cancer

The Sweet Smell of a NobelThirty years ago, Linda Buck and Richard Axel described a large family of genes that encode what appeared to be G-protein coupled receptors, or GPCRs. These genes were expressed in the olfactory epithelium, and encoded an...
