Emerging Chemokine Receptor CXCR7/ACKR3: A Promising Target in Disease Therapy

In recent years, the role of chemokine receptors in immune regulation, tumor development, and tissue repair has attracted increasing attention. C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7), also known as ACKR3 (Atypical Chemokine Receptor 3), serves as an atypical receptor for CXCL12/CXCL11. Owing to its unique signaling mechanism and functional roles in various diseases, CXCR7 has […]

One receptor, two FDA-approved drugs — just how crucial is CXCR4?

In recent years, the successive approvals of two new drugs have once again brought a chemokine receptor into the spotlight. In 2023, the FDA approved Motixafortide (brand name Aphexda) in combination with long-acting G-CSF for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization in patients with multiple myeloma. Then in 2024, the FDA approved Mavorixafor (Xolremdi) for the treatment […]

CCR1: An Emerging Target for Immune Regulation and Drug Development

CCR1 (C-C motif chemokine receptor 1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) involved in inflammatory responses and immune cell migration. In recent years, with the deepening research on immune-related diseases and the tumor microenvironment, CCR1 has gradually emerged as an important therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases, tumors, and organ fibrosis. 1. Overview of CCR1 Chemokine monomers […]
