Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential of Receptor Drug Targets: From Bench to Bedside
Author(s): Umesh Rao*
Receptors play a crucial role in mediating cellular responses to various
stimuli, making them attractive targets for drug development. Over
the years, significant efforts have been directed towards unlocking the
therapeutic potential of receptor drug targets, from early research in the
laboratory to their translation into clinical applications at the bedside.
This review explores the diverse landscape of receptor drug targets and
their implications for therapeutic interventions across different diseases.
The investigation begins with an overview of the molecular and cellular
mechanisms of receptors, emphasizing their versatile functions in signal
transduction pathways. The identification and validation of receptor drug
targets involve multidisciplinary approaches, including structural biology,
computational modeling, and high-throughput screening, enab.. View More»
