It takes two to tango: Dimerisation of glucocorticoid receptor and its anti-inflammatory functions

► Glucocorticoids (GCs) are anti-inflammatory, but result in adverse side effects. ► Anti-inflammatory actions thought to be independent of GC receptor dimerisation. ► However, receptor dimerisation crucial to some anti-inflammatory actions. ► Here we explore the role of GC receptor dimerisation and its consequences.
