Constitutive signal bias mediated by the human GHRHR splice variant 1

The paper identifies a splice variant of the GHRHR receptor that mediates constitutive signal bias towards β-arrestin recruitment, impacting downstream signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells.

Structural basis for the therapeutic advantage of dual and triple agonists at the human GIP, GLP-1 or GCG receptors

This study determines cryo-EM structures of dual and triple agonists bound to GIPR, GLP-1R, and GCGR to elucidate their superior efficacy over monoagonists in glucose homeostasis.

Structural insights into hormone recognition by the human glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor

The paper reports the cryo-EM structure of the human GIPR complexed with GIP and a Gs heterotrimer, revealing how GIP is recognized and activates the receptor.
