Precise control of cellular communication and signaling is crucial for every physiological system, with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, the largest family of signaling receptors) playing a central role as essential molecular sensors of a cell’s environment.
Because of their diverse physiological and pathophysiological roles, GPCRs are also major drug targets.
Our understanding of GPCR signaling has evolved from single receptors at the cell surface activating specific heterotrimeric G protein pathways, to an increasingly complex receptor signaling system. However, the complexity of GPCR signaling is translated to specific cellular and physiological responses is still unclear.
In this episode, we explore some of the latest endeavors to uncover GPCR signaling mechanisms through a wide range of imaging applications, from analyzing single molecules to the identification of new subcellular signal platforms.
