Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Catecholamines play physiological roles as endogenous central neural regulators and modulators of cardiovascular, respiratory and immune function. Catecholamines and drugs affecting catecholamine biosynthesis, receptors and transporters are valuable therapeutic tools but may have off-target actions due to their pleiotropic actions. This Special Issue of Biomolecules “Contemporary Developments in Catecholamine Biology: From Molecule to Function” presents the latest research in this developing area.
