Spotlighting toxinology: from animal toxins to next-generation technologies and products
Call for papers in the Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases
Edited by: Eliane C. Arantes, Isadora S. Oliveira, Ernesto L. Pinheiro-Júnior, and Johara Boldrini-França
Animal venoms and poisons are complex and rich sources of protein and peptides with different scaffolds and pharmacological activities, carefully assorted as a result of evolution and natural selection. Many of their targets play important roles in different biological functions and in the development and progression of many human diseases.
Considering the relevance of this topic, the Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases is calling for papers in a thematic series on “Spotlighting toxinology: from animal toxins to next-generation technologies and products” edited by Dr. Eliane C. Arantes, Dr. Isadora S. Oliveira (University of São Paulo, Brazil), Dr. Ernesto L. Pinheiro-Júnior (University of Leuven, Belgium), and Dr. Johara Boldrini-França (University of Bristol, United Kingdom). This special collection will accept manuscripts concerning structural and biological functions of animal venoms and/or isolated toxins, their potential applications, and new strategies to envenoming therapy.
The editors invite you to send your manuscripts of the following types: research articles, reviews, short reports, case reports and letters to the editor. The deadline for the submission is August 18, 2023.
Manuscripts must be formatted according to the submission guidelines of Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases and submitted via the online submission system. Please indicate clearly in the cover letter that the manuscript is to be considered for the aforementioned special collection.
If you would like to enquire about the suitability of a manuscript for consideration, please send a pre-submission enquiry to editorial.jvatitd@unesp.br.
