| | FEBS Letters Signalling Virtual Special Issue FEBS Letters is proud to launch a new series of Virtual Special Issues which will highlight a collection of outstanding articles recently published in the journal, focusing on a selection of topics that we hope will be of general interest to our readers. Take a look at our latest Virtual Special Issue on Signalling. You can find some of the best research letters on the topic published in FEBS Letters in the last two years, with the following overview by Israel Pecht. Cell-cell as well as trans-membrane signalling processes are crucial for cellular organisms, enabling practically all life's essential steps from proliferation and survival to defence and communication. This Virtual Special Issue on the topic of Signalling provides a nice illustration for the importance of this wide field of research. We hope that the diversity of the topics presented in these papers may spur young scientists to appreciate the importance of this still evolving field, and encourage further investigation in this direction. Aspects such as regulation of different receptors' stimulus-response coupling network and the current understanding of the operation of such networks constitute additional fields that are currently emerging and need more work. We hope that this special issue will be found interesting and be a challenge for future studies.
