Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 24 (June 16, 2020), pp. 13437-13446 (10 pages) Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are ...

The process of expressing a wide variety of voltage-gated and ligand-gated ion channels enables nociceptors to transduce receptor potential into single action potentials or multiple action potentials.

Leucine-rich repeats containing 4 (LRRC4)—a gene abundantly found in the brain and located on human chromosome 7q31–32—plays a pivotal role in memory formation, autism, spinal cord injury, as well as ...

More is not necessarily better, as was previously examined in an article about the pitfalls of high-throughput screening (GEN, March 15, 2006, pg. 24), not the least of which is the terabytes of ...
