Receptors: Exceptional Scientists and Their Expert Opinions

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Receptors are chemical structures, composed of proteins, that receive and transduce signals that may be integrated into biological systems. The major focus of Receptors encompasses broad areas of receptor structure and function, molecular biology and genetics, signaling and interactions, and their physicochemical/biophysical properties.

This Topical Collection of Receptors is designed to invite articles from outstanding scientists in this field, providing them with the venue to present their personal perspectives on their accomplishments and seminal contributions to the receptor field.

We hope that such a Topical Collection will make the scientific community aware of the tremendous contribution of these outstanding scientists, trigger fruitful discussions, and motivate young researchers to enter the receptors field and tackle the open questions.

Prof. Dr. Stephen H. Safe
Collection Editor
