GABA receptors, long recognised principally for their role in modulating neuronal excitability within the central nervous system, are now emerging as pivotal regulators of immune function. These ...

New clues about the way brain chemical transmitter GABA functions suggest that a protein 'anchor' plays a key role in helping position its receptors in nervous cells. New research published in Nature ...

GABA is one of the supplements patients ask me about a lot, often with looks of confusion on their faces. I think the confusion comes from the fact that GABA is both a chemical produced within the ...

The intricate web of chemical messengers that facilitate communication between neurons represents one of the body’s most complex and fascinating systems. These neurotransmitters, including serotonin, ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow ...

Diabetes is a disease affecting two pancreatic hormones — insulin and glucagon. In healthy people, insulin helps cells take up glucose from the blood when glucose levels are high. In contrast, ...

A trial enrolling 97 children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes did not meet the primary endpoint of preservation of insulin production by beta cells, but it did show a significant decrease in ...
