"I think PAGER has potential for impact, both in the G protein coupled receptor biology field, and in synthetic circuits or cell-based therapies," said Alice Ting, professor of genetics at the School ...

Our bodies have to sense our environment, and receptors are one part of the sensory experience of the body. Receptors, such as those in taste buds, can interact with specific things in the environment ...

All over the body are tiny sensors called nociceptors whose job is to spot potentially harmful stimuli and send warning ...
