Precise Picture Of Cell Target For Drugs Discovered By Stanford Researchers

More than half of all drugs given to patients work by targeting a particular type of “docking station,” or receptor, found on body cells, to steer the cell’s machinery toward healing an illness. Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine and the Scripps Research Institute have determined what one of those receptors looks like at the molecular level, giving them the keys to greater control of the process.
