Drugs to treat #inflammatory and #autoimmune diseases — such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid #arthritis or #Chrousos syndrome — act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein regulates vital processes in various tissues, so understanding its structure and function at the #molecular level is essential for designing more effective and safer drugs.

Researchers decipher a mechanism that determines the complexity of the glucocorticoid receptor

For decades, the scientific community had considered that the GR acted only as a monomer or as a homodimer
