A key protein that plays a critical role in nicotine addiction--the alpha-7 receptor--could also be a key player in the fight against obesity, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and a long list of other such ...

The low affinity class of nicotinic receptors contains the alpha-7 subunit, which is present in reduced numbers in people with schizophrenia. Two papers published in the January 1 st issue of ...

The Brown University researchers looked specifically at the alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in mouse brain tissue. A very similar receptor exists in humans. The alpha-7 receptor is the ...

Szigeti explains that it is a fusion between a gene coding the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which has been a promising but ultimately unsuccessful target for Alzheimer’s, and a kinase, a ...

MEM 3454 is a partial agonist of the nicotinic alpha-7 receptor, a highly specialized receptor found in the central nervous system. Compounds acting on this receptor could be beneficial in the ...

The biomarker study, and additional formulation and manufacturing activities for MEM 3454, will be funded by Roche, under the companies' collaboration for the development of nicotinic alpha-7 receptor ...
