Targeting G protein-coupled receptor signalling by blocking G proteins   
Adrian P. Campbell & Alan V. Smrcka
pp789 - 803 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2018.135
Identifying ligands of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that elicit biased downstream signalling is an established strategy for separating the desired and unwanted effects of these receptors. Campbell and Smrcka describe how inhibiting the downstream G proteins themselves could also be used to bias GPCR signalling, as well as block pathways shared by multiple GPCRs involved in complex diseases, and discuss how the currently available G protein ligands could be optimized to generate therapeutic leads.

Therapeutic strategies for Parkinson disease: beyond dopaminergic drugs   
Delphine Charvin, Rossella Medori, Robert A. Hauser & Olivier Rascol
pp804 - 822 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2018.136
Existing dopaminergic-based therapies for Parkinson disease (PD) are limited by side effects and lack of long-term efficacy. Here, Charvin et al. discuss the challenges facing the development of novel treatments for PD, assess emerging disease-modifying non-dopaminergic therapeutic strategies and highlight novel therapies aimed at managing symptoms of the disease.

Regulatory T cells in the treatment of disease   
Amir Sharabi, Maria G. Tsokos, Ying Ding, Thomas R. Malek, David Klatzmann et al.
pp823 - 844 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2018.148
Regulatory T cells are important in controlling immune reactions and thus are implicated in autoimmune diseases, transplantation and cancer. In this Review, Tsokos and colleagues discuss how these cells can be harnessed or manipulated for therapeutic use and describe the progress that has been made as well as impending challenges.
