Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology: From Molecule to Clinical Practice focuses on the growing body of knowledge that connects molecular mechanisms with practical decision-making in veterinary medicine. The theme encompasses research exploring how drugs interact with biological systems, how pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes vary across species, and how these insights can refine therapeutic strategies. It also covers the study of toxic agents relevant to animals, including environmental chemicals, feed contaminants, and drug-related toxicities. By highlighting developments in analytical methods, biomarker identification, mechanistic toxicology, and translational approaches, this topic emphasizes the importance of integrating molecular evidence with clinical reasoning. The Special Issue aims to illuminate how advances in pharmacology and toxicology contribute to safer treatments, improved therapeutic efficacy, and better protection of animal health and welfare.
