Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are increasingly recognized as part of interconnected, cell-context-specific signaling networks. In the June 5th issue of Molecular Cell, Dehkhoda et al.1 demonstrate that the constitutive activity of the ghrelin receptor drives dopamine D2 receptor-dependent calcium mobilization, highlighting the complexity of GPCR signaling and opening new avenues for therapeutic development.

期刊介绍:
Cell Chemical Biology, a Cell Press journal established in 1994 as Chemistry & Biology, focuses on publishing crucial advances in chemical biology research with broad appeal to our diverse community, spanning basic scientists to clinicians. Pioneering investigations at the chemistry-biology interface, the journal fosters collaboration between these disciplines. We encourage submissions providing significant conceptual advancements of broad interest across chemical, biological, clinical, and related fields. Particularly sought are articles utilizing chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems, offering unique insights into molecular mechanisms, disease biology, and therapeutics.
