"Given the rapid advances in the field of nuclear receptor research, especially their role in cell proliferation, metabolism, and homeostasis, which make them prime targets for a wide range of diseases such as cancer and metabolic diseases, this book does an excellent job of covering their structure and function and translational opportunities for drug discovery. ... The book targets students, scientists, and other clinicians such as oncologists and endocrinologists interested in the field of nuclear receptors." (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2015)
