Structure-guided design of a peripherally restricted chemogenetic system
Kang et al. present HCAD, a peripherally restricted DREADD based on HCA2, with a chemical actuator that avoids crossing the blood-brain barrier and selectively reduces pain in mice. This system will enable the study of peripheral physiology without affecting the central nervous system.
