Scientists develop an agent capable of selectively inhibiting the body’s stress response
by Daniel Meierhans, ETH Zurich The DEGs we identified upon 2 h, and 18 h of DEX treatments in A549 cells align with the other existing RNAseq and ChIP-seq datasets. Credit: Nature Communications (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-44031-2Stress isn’t merely an oppressive feeling we experience when we’re overwhelmed; it’s the body’s natural reaction to acute or persistent strain. This stress...

Why drugs sometimes cause receptor potentiation rather than inhibition
by Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum Using a dedicated application technique and electrophysiological measurements, the researchers rapidly activated the glutamate receptors. The picture shows a setup for patch-clamp electrophysiology. Glutamate is the messenger substance the brain uses to pass on excitatory signals. Receptors for this neurotransmitter are a promising target for drug development, as they are involved in many pathological...
