Linking GPCRs with type 2 diabetes: novel ADORA2B model utilizing AR2A multi-sequence templates

Researching is worlds apart from any other kind of learning. It is a process of self-discovery and trial and error . . . I learned very quickly that everything is not black in white. There is too much grey in the entirety of it. You may not always know if you are going in the right direction. Therefore, the best thing to do is embrace the grey, think out of the box, and take a chance. Science is indebted to imagination . . . A significant amount of scientific research has been devoted to discover a cure for diabetes; however, no treatments have been completely successful. One of the most debilitating aspects of diabetes comes from a condition known as insulin resistance. With this condition, the body does not utilize the hormone properly. Ongoing research has shown positive results in locating defects in the signaling pathways in cells. Specifically, transmembrane proteins that interact with extracellular macromolecules are the roots of the issue. In adipocytes, connective fat tissue, tyrosine kinases are the receptors that play the largest part in transporting insulin into the cell.
