A collaborative effort between Mount Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Scientists have determined structures of a transporter protein involved in the movement of neurochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine, unearthing multiple mechanisms that can guide drug development ...

Stanford University researchers developed a tissue-mimicking, stretchable sensor termed NeuroString for real-time measurement of neurotransmitter dynamics in vivo in the brain, gut, and other soft ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology expertise to determine structures of vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2), a key component of neuronal ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigated whether monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are involved in hippocampal activation even during light exercise. Dopamine secreted from ...

Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessively inherited neurometabolic disorder characterised by markedly reduced synthesis of key monoamine neurotransmitters ...

Geoffrey Attardo first tried Prozac to treat his depression when he was doing postdoctoral research at Yale School of Public Health and was feeling the pressures of a new job in academia. Soon after ...

(Memphis, Tenn – November 1, 2023) Neurons talk to each other using chemical signals called neurotransmitters. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have drawn on structural biology ...
