Journal of Receptor and Signal Transduction Research

Aims & Scope

This widely respected journal presents the latest laboratory and clinical studies on biological receptors and associated signal transduction pathways for ligands involved in the regulation of central and peripheral tissues and cells, including the immune system, thus covering the field from neurotransmitters to peptides, steroids, growth factors, cytokines and drugs.

The Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction rapidly communicates important research results to the international scientific community in a variety of stimulating formats, including original and review papers, brief communications, solicited and unsolicited mini reviews, and symposia proceedings.

The Journal of Receptors and Signal Transduction maintains a rigorous peer-review process that ensures the originality, timeliness, and significance of topics covered, such as: Pharmacology of receptors and channels Physicochemical and biophysical properties Modeling Molecular biology and genetics Structure and function of receptors and channels Signal transduction pathways Pathology of receptors and channels Molecular strategies for designing drugs acting on receptors Receptors in the diagnosis and therapy of disease.
