Ligand recognition and G protein coupling of trace amine receptor TAAR1
Abstract Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs), a group of biogenic amine receptors, play pivotal roles in neurological and metabolic homeostasis1. They recognize diverse endogenous trace amines (ETAs) and subsequently activate a range of G protein subtype signaling pathways2,3. Notably, TAAR1 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for treating psychiatric disorders4,5. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying…

Recognition of methamphetamine and other amines by trace amine receptor TAAR1
Abstract Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1), the founding member of a nine-member family of trace amine receptors, is responsible for recognizing a range of biogenic amines in the brain, including the endogenous β-phenylethylamine (β-PEA)1 as well as methamphetamine (METH)2, an abused substance that has posed a severe threat to human health and society3. Given its…

Argentine rewilding debate descends into legal threats
Argentine scientists have accused a nature conservation foundation of “intimidation” as an academic debate over rewilding descended into legal threats. At issue is whether introducing certain large mammals to parts of Argentina will benefit ecosystems and cut emissions or harm local wildlife and threaten human health. In April, a group of over 100 scientists published…
