Abstract
Achieving the efficacy and specificity of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) targeting-drugs in the skin remains challenging. Understanding the molecular mechanism underlying GPCR dysfunction is crucial for developing targeted therapies. Recent advances in genetic, signal transduction, and structural studies have significantly improved our understanding of cutaneous GPCR functions in both normal and pathological states. In this review, we summarize recent discoveries of pathogenic GPCRs in dermal injuries, chronic inflammatory dermatoses, cutaneous malignancies, as well as the development of potent potential drugs. We also discuss targeting of cutaneous GPCR complexes via the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel and structure elucidation, which provide new opportunities for therapeutic targeting of GPCRs involved in skin disorders. These insights are expected to lead to more effective and specific treatments for various skin conditions.
期刊介绍：
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (TIPS) is a monthly peer-reviewed reviews journal that focuses on a wide range of topics in pharmacology, pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and toxicology. Launched in 1979, TIPS publishes concise articles discussing the latest advancements in pharmacology and therapeutics research.
The journal encourages submissions that align with its core themes while also being open to articles on the biopharma regulatory landscape, science policy and regulation, and bioethics.
Each issue of TIPS provides a platform for experts to share their insights and perspectives on the most exciting developments in the field. Through rigorous peer review, the journal ensures the quality and reliability of published articles.
Authors are invited to contribute articles that contribute to the understanding of pharmacology and its applications in various domains. Whether it's exploring innovative drug therapies or discussing the ethical considerations of pharmaceutical research, TIPS provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in the pharmacological sciences.
