Unlocking the Deep Secrets of Toxins - Special Issue
Abstract
In this Special Issue of Toxins, entitled "Unlocking the Deep Secrets of Toxins", research and review articles concerning recent discoveries in the fields of animal venoms and of natural toxins and their derivatives will be presented to cover broad areas ranging from the discovery of new toxin producers and toxins in the environment and the analysis of their ecological, economical, and societal impacts to the characterization of new toxins with original structural determinants, modes of action, and receptor-subtype specificities, as well as to their applicability in a health or biotechnological context, either directly or as molecular templates for the engineering of new compounds. This Special Issue is open to all delegates of the 30th Meeting on Toxinology (RT30) organized by the French Society of Toxinology on December 02-03, 2024, at Hôtel Le Saint Paul in Nice, France.
