... a resource within which bioinformatic and bench research efforts can be pursued in a synergistic and multidisciplinary approach on a common intellectual and technological platform. The primary directive of the NURSA program is to gather and organize information relating to key aspects of orphan nuclear receptor biology, with the aim of extending this blueprint to the wider discipline of nuclear receptor signaling.
The nuclear receptor signaling field is currently well served by primary research journals. To complement these journals, NRS will provide a forum dedicated to the publication of short, focused review and perspective articles, in addition to descriptions of techniques and their applications in the nuclear receptor field. Unlike traditional journals, Nuclear Receptor Signaling articles will, where appropriate, be fully cross referenced with NURSA Molecule Pages and datasets, providing background and context where needed.
The subject matter of Nuclear Receptor Signaling is restricted to functional, structural and biological facets of signal transduction by nuclear receptors and coregulators, and the regulatory impact of these molecules on gene networks in target cells.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
