Representing the most attractive and successful druggable receptors of the proteome, GPCRs regulate a myriad of physiological and pathophysiological functions. Although over half of present pharmaceuticals target GPCRs, the advancement of drug discovery is hampered by a lack of adequate screening tools, the majority of which are limited to probing...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) form the foundation of any cell signaling network. Considering that PPIs are highly dynamic processes, cellular assays are often essential for their study because they closely mimic the biological complexities of cellular environments. However, incongruity may be observed across different PPI assays when investig...

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) form the underpinnings of any cellular signaling network. PPIs are highly dynamic processes and often, cell-based assays can be essential for their study as they closely mimic the biological intricacies of cellular environments. Since no sole platform can perform all needed experiments to gain a thoroughly compre...
Existing pharmacotherapies acting on the opioid receptor system have been extensively used to treat chronic pain and addictive disorders. Nevertheless, the adverse side effects associated with opioid therapy underscore the need for concerted measures to develop safer analgesics. A promising avenue of research stems from the characterization of a so...
The delta opioid receptor (DOP) belongs to the Class A, rhodopsin-like family of G protein-coupled receptors. Although this receptor has a high level of similarity with the other opioid receptors, it displays unique aspects and functions. Indeed, as opposed to most membrane receptors, DOP is poorly addressed to the plasma membrane. In this chapter,...
