Deskripsi
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) can adopt different conformations, each linked to distinct cellular outcomes. Here the authors show that compound 17b, a novel agonist of the GPCR family member FPR, robustly activates cardioprotective but not detrimental FPR signalling, showing beneficial therapeutic effect in a mouse model of cardiac infarction.
