Abstract:The majority of cellular responses to external stimuli are mediated by receptors such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and systems including endoplasmic reticular stress (ER stress). Since GPCR signalling is pivotal in numerous malignant pathologies, they are targeted by a number of clinically used drugs. Cancer cells often negatively modulate GPCRs in order to survive, proliferate and to disseminate. Similarly, numerous branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR) act as pro-survival mediator… Show more
