title: Themed section: molecular pharmacology of GPCRs.
abstract: As our knowledge and understanding of the way in which GPCRs operate continues to grow rapidly, many new opportunities are emerging to develop novel therapeutic agents. This themed issue of the British Journal of Pharmacology contains a series of papers that cover recent developments and identify approaches that may help determine future directions. Many of these papers contain material that was presented at the 6th International Molecular Pharmacology of G Protein-Coupled Receptors meeting held at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Melbourne Australia in late 2010.
