Humanized Gs-DREADD for Circuit Modulation
2026-08-24
Zhang and colleagues developed hM3Ds, a whole-sequence-humanized Gs-coupled DREADD designed to retain the ligand responsiveness of rM3Ds while reducing concerns associated with a non-human receptor backbone. In mice, selective hM3Ds activation in D1 medium spiny neurons engaged the basal ganglia direct pathway and improved Parkinsonian phenotypes, supporting its value as a research tool and a candidate for future translational development.
