This study uses cryoEM to reveal how two conotoxins bind differently to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, showing distinct structural and functional mechanisms despite similar sequences.

The paper identifies progesterone chemotactile receptors in octopus hectocotylus, showing their evolution from neurotransmitter receptors and role in mating.

The paper presents high-resolution structures of the human muscle AChR and maps epitopes of MG autoantibodies to reveal diverse pathogenic mechanisms.

This study shows that microbiomes on ecological surfaces activate octopus chemotactile receptors to guide behavior through distinct molecular signals.

The paper identifies a conserved vestibule binding site in pLGICs and shows nanobodies can act as allosteric modulators, expanding drug design possibilities.
