Unlocking the Secrets of Galanin Receptor 1: A New Way to Study Cell Interactions
Galanin is a powerful messenger in the body. It helps control eating, mood, and pain. It does this by talking to special receptors, like GALR1. Scientists wanted to see how galanin and other molecules interact with GALR1 in living cells. They created a new tool to watch these interactions. This tool uses a tiny piece of protein called HiBiT. When HiBiT joins with an...
