The @KorkhovLab @ETH_en and @psich_en studies the structure and function of #MembraneProteins involved in signal transduction

The @KorkhovLab has an opening for a student or a scientist displaced from Ukraine. If you are interested or know someone who might be interested - please DM.

How do cells integrate multiple signals into precise responses? Our study uncovers neuronal calcium sensor proteins as new regulators of adenylyl cyclase 8, linking GPCR/cAMP and Ca²⁺ signaling. @KorkhovLab @psich_en @ETH_DBIOL biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

In collaboration with the Posthaus Lab, we identify ANTXR2—also the anthrax toxin receptor—as the receptor for Clostridium perfringens NetF pore forming toxin. Cryo-EM shows extensive contact between the pore and the receptor #Microbiology #CryoEM doi.org/10.1101/2025.07.02.6…
