  • Allosteric modulation of GPCRs: From structural insights to in silico drug discovery

    While traditional drug discovery programs have focused on the development of ligands targeting the binding site of endogenous ligands (orthosteric site), allosteric modulators offer new avenues for the regulation identification of multiple allosteric sites and significantly enhanced our understanding of how allosteric ligands systematic analysis of the currently available GPCR structures in complex with small-molecule allosteric ligands in terms of the location of allosteric pockets, receptor-ligand interactions, and the chemical features

  • Divergent roles for the gut intraepithelial lymphocyte GLP-1R in control of metabolism, microbiota..

    cell-induced inflammation "Gut intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are thought to calibrate glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) bioavailability, thereby regulating systemic glucose and lipid metabolism. -1RAs require the gut IEL GLP-1R to selectively restrain local and systemic T cell-induced, but not lipopolysaccharide-induced Such effects are mediated by the suppression of gut IEL effector functions linked to the dampening of These data reposition key roles of the L cell-gut IEL GLP-1R axis, revealing mechanisms linking GLP-1R
