MS-74: Structural biology of receptors, signaling and membrane proteins
Invited: Robert Keenan (USA), Isabel Moraes (UK) | ||
Session Abstract | ||
Receptor biology and signal transduction is an important area of research that is related to many diseases. This microsymposium will focus on new structural advances in the field of signal transduction.
