Molecular pharmacology of chemokine receptor signalling in cancer

分子药理学是研究激素、神经递质和药物如何通过受体与我们的细胞相互作用的学科，受体通过细胞膜传递信号，改变细胞的功能。趋化因子受体被认为在许多癌症的发展中发挥作用。了解这些受体是如何工作的，对于提高我们开发出副作用更小的更好的抗癌治疗方法有着巨大的意义。

Molecular pharmacology is the study of how hormones, neurotransmitters and pharmaceuticals interact with our cells through receptors, which transfer a signal across the cell membrane to change the function of that cell. Chemokine receptors are recognised to play a role in the development of many cancers. Understanding how these receptors work has enormous implications for improving our ability to develop better anti-cancer treatments with fewer side effects.
