In a study published in Matter on May 1, researchers led by Prof. Jiang Lei from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the molecular secrets ...

Findings help explain why some people go from moderate alcohol users to dependent on alcohol. LMO4 (Red) and kappa opioid receptor (green) mRNA are expressed in the same cells in the basolateral ...

Ethanol-water mixtures determine the critical alcohol content of beverages. By employing molecular dynamics simulations and high-frequency proton nuclear magnetic resonance, they could identify ...

A new study in the journal Neuron indicates that microRNA may influence the development of alcohol tolerance, a hallmark of alcohol abuse and dependence. In recent years, a class of small molecules ...
