Subcellular signaling is critical to generating cellular responses that modulate inflammatory pathways at the chemokine receptor CXCR3. Eiger et al. determine that agonist-biased CXCR3 signaling at endosomes differs from that at the plasma membrane, proposing location bias as an important phenomenon in signal transduction.
