Abstract
Cellular signaling is controlled by ligand receptor interaction and subsequent biochemical changes inside the cell. Manipulating receptors as per need that can be a strategy to alter the disease pathologies in various conditions. With recent advances in synthetic biology, now it is possible to engineer the artificial receptor "synthetic receptors." Synthetic receptors are the engineering receptors that have potential to alter the disease pathology by altering/manipulating the cellular signaling. Several synthetic receptors are being engineered that have shown positive regulation in several disease conditions. Thus, synthetic receptor-based strategy opens a new avenue in the medical field to cope up with various health issues. The current chapter summarizes updated information about the synthetic receptors and their applications in the medical field.
