A special section of Molecular Pharmacology on opioid research to celebrate 50 years of the International Narcotics Research Conference (INRC) is being planned for publication in the June 2020 issue.

The submission deadline is January 17, 2020.

Original research manuscripts that provide new insights into molecular mechanisms that are broadly relevant to opioid biology will be considered for this special section.

Manuscripts describing research on opioid receptor signaling, opioid pharmacology, and mechanisms of regulation of opioid physiology are encouraged. All manuscripts will be fully peer reviewed. Authors should refer to the Instructions to Authors on the journal website for the guidelines and policies of the journal.

To help with the planning of the special issue, please email your manuscript title and a draft abstract or an outline to the special section guest editor, Manoj Puthenveedu.
