It is now generally accepted that G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) can form multimeric complexes with the same (homomers) or different (heteromers) GPCR partners. We have learned a vast amount about these GPCR oligomers from studies conducted with heterologous expression systems where individual receptor protomers can be labeled and high-resolution microscopy techniques can be applied along with rigorous biochemical and cell signaling methods.

While great advances have been made into understanding the biomechanical environment within human joints, large gaps in our knowledge of the basic mechanics still exist. These gaps are a direct result of limitations in our ability to experimentally characterize detailed internal joint mechanics during in vivo human motion. This lack of fundamental knowledge underlies a multitude of basic and applied research areas in musculoskeletal biomechanics.
