Emerging strategies make use of synthetic GPCRs and could overcome some of these limitations using chemogenetic and optogenetic approaches. Here, mutated GPCRs binding only to specific and orthogonal ligands or light-sensitive channels are used for cell modulation and trafficking.

Equipping cells with synthetic GPCRs enables precise and stimulus-controlled immune cell migration.
Mutated GPCRs responsive only to specific orthogonal ligands or light-sensitive channels can be used for cell modulation and trafficking.
Natural and synthetic GPCR engineering are promising approaches to enhance immune cell trafficking, persistence, and efficacy.
Synthetic GPCR strategies using chemogenetic and optogenetic control could overcome some limitations of natural chemokine receptor engineering.
