Abstract: Dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) are major targets in the treatment of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. As with many other G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), D2Rs interact within the cellular membrane, leading to a transient receptor homo-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2108776118

Abstract: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are one of the most important drug-target classes in pharmaceutical industry. Their diversity in signaling, which can be modulated with drugs, permits the design of more effective and better-tolerated therapeutics. In… read more here.
