Receptor-Targeted Nanomedicine for Cancer Therapy

Arvee Prajapati, Shagun Rangra, Rashmi Patil et al. · 3 Jul 2024

Receptor-targeted drug delivery has been extensively explored for active targeting of therapeutic moiety in cancer treatment. In this review, we discuss the receptors that are overexpressed on tumor cells and have the potential to be targeted by nanocarrier systems for cancer treatment. We also highlight the different types of nanocarrier systems and targeting ligands that…

Dopamine D1–D5 Receptors in Brain Nuclei: Implications for Health and Disease

K. Kawahata, David I. Finkelstein, Kohji Fukunaga · 12 Apr 2024

Understanding the intricate role of dopamine D1–D5 receptors is pivotal in addressing the challenges posed by the aging global population, as well as by social stress and advancing therapeutic interventions. Central to diverse brain functions such as movement, cognition, motivation, and reward, dopamine receptors are ubiquitously distributed across various brain nuclei. This comprehensive review explores…

Novel Cell Receptor System of Eukaryotes Formed by Previously Unknown Nucleic Acid-Based Receptors

Victor Tetz, George Tetz · 9 Aug 2022

Here, our data provide the first evidence for the existence of a previously unknown receptive system formed by novel DNA- and RNA-based receptors in eukaryotes. This system, named the TR-system, is capable of recognizing and generating a response to different environmental factors and has been shown to orchestrate major vital functions of fungi, mammalian cells,…

Estrogen Signals through ERβ in Breast Cancer; What We Have Learned since the Discovery of the Receptor

Harika Nagandla, Christoforos Thomas · 3 May 2024

Estrogen receptor (ER) β (ERβ) is the second ER subtype that mediates the effects of estrogen in target tissues along with ERα that represents a validated biomarker and target for endocrine therapy in breast cancer. ERα was the only known ER subtype until 1996 when the discovery of ERβ opened a new chapter in endocrinology…

Role of Hepatic Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Nikhil Y. Patil, Jacob E. Friedman, Aditya Joshi · 4 Jan 2023

Numerous nuclear receptors including farnesoid X receptor, liver X receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, pregnane X receptor, hepatic nuclear factors have been extensively studied within the context of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Following the first description of the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) in the 1970s and decades of research which unveiled its role in toxicity…

Receptors template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Receptors format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Receptors template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Receptors use?
Receptors uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Receptors 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Receptors?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Receptors document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Receptors template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Receptors format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Receptors?
Receptors - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Receptors PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Receptors template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Receptors template cost?
You can start writing in the Receptors template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Receptors PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
