Amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) is produced through the proteolytic processing of a transmembrane
protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP), by β-and γ-secretases. Aβ accumulation in the …

Integrins are considered the main cell-adhesion transmembrane receptors that play multifaceted
roles as extracellular matrix (ECM)-cytoskeletal linkers and transducers in biochemical …

Androgens and androgen receptors (AR) play a pivotal role in expression of the male phenotype.
Several diseases, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) and prostate cancer, …

Triboelectrification is a well-known phenomenon that commonly occurs in nature and in our
lives at any time and any place. Although each and every material exhibits triboelectrification…

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global crisis. Replication of SARS-…

A long debate on the charge identity and the associated mechanisms occurring in contact‐electrification
(CE) (or triboelectrification) has persisted for many decades, while a conclusive …

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) signal primarily through G proteins or arrestins. Arrestin
binding to GPCRs blocks G protein interaction and redirects signalling to numerous G-…

Strigolactones (SLs) are a group of newly identified plant hormones that control plant shoot
branching. SL signalling requires the hormone-dependent interaction of DWARF 14 (D14), a …

The peroxisome proliferator–activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors for fatty
acids (FAs) that regulate glucose and lipid homeostasis. We report the crystal structure of the …

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are dietary lipid sensors that
regulate fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism. The hypolipidemic effects of the fibrate drugs …
