All the latest science news on insulin receptor from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

Neuroscientists have demonstrated for the first time in living animals that insulin receptors in the brain can initiate signaling that regulates both the structure and function of neural circuits ...

The insulin receptor (IR) is a prototypical receptor tyrosine kinase that orchestrates critical cellular processes, including metabolism, cell growth and differentiation.

The biological actions of insulin are mediated by its receptor--the insulin receptor -- which is localized on the cell surface. In a new study, researchers based in Germany, Canada, and Finland ...

A recent study identified a non-insulin-related protein that can activate the human insulin receptor, which could lead to the development of an insulin-mimicking oral pill and replace the need for ...

Scientists in Australia have opened up some new possibilities around oral insulin, by identifying a molecule that activates receptors in a similar way to the hormone, thereby laying new ...

Insulin is an important hormone that can be found in high concentrations in the human brain. This article investigates how insulin can affect the brain.

Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) are ubiquitous growth factors that regulate proliferation in most mammalian tissues including pancreatic islets. To explore the specificity of insulin ...

A team led by scientists from the Tokyo Institute of Technology reported that it has uncovered the precise mechanism through which dopamine regulates insulin secretions. Using total internal ...

PHOTO: DOUGLAS LEVERE Insulin appears to suppress a particular group of inflammatory mediators known as toll-like receptors, or TLRs, which are critical to the inflammatory process. TLRs are a variety ...

GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) are known to aid weight loss, improve glucose control, reduce cardiovascular risk and treat noncirrhotic metabolic dysfunction-associated ...
