1. Analysis of Wnt ligands and Fz receptors in Ecdysozoa : Investigating the evolution of segmentation
Abstract : .... READ MORE

2. Molecular simulations of G protein-coupled receptors : A journey into structure-based ligand design and receptor function
Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) contains a large number of important drug targets. These cell surface receptors recognize extracellular signaling molecules, which stimulates intracellular pathways that play major roles in human physiology. READ MORE

3. Novel insights into dishevelled and frizzled function
Abstract : The formation of a multicellular body during embryonic development is one of the most fascinating processes in biology. The cells are in constant communication and must be precisely coordinated. Several essential signalling pathways have been identified in cell-to-cell signal transmission. READ MORE

4. The Gene Repertoire of G protein-coupled Receptors : New Genes, Phylogeny, and Evolution
Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is one of the largest protein families of mammalian genomes and can be divided into five main families; Glutamate, Rhodopsin, Adhesion, Frizzled, and Secretin. GPCRs participate in most major physiological functions, contributing to the fact that they are important targets in drug discovery. READ MORE

5. WNT/Frizzled signaling : illuminating the road towards pathway selectivity
Abstract : Cells sense and respond to their environment via receptors embedded in the plasma membrane. Receptors allow flow of information from outside to the inside of the cell and are generally regulated by extracellular molecules and proteins, known as ligands. READ MORE
