Cancer immunotherapy: special issue of BMB Reports in 2021.

abstract：:Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a diverse family of homo- or heteropentameric ligand-gated ion channels. Understanding the physiological role of each nAChR subtype and the key residues responsible for normal and pathological states is important. α-Conotoxin neuropeptides are highly selective probes capa...
