Advances in histamine pharmacology reveal new drug targets

This Themed Issue consists of three reviews and 11 original articles authored by internationally respected industrial and academic pharmacologists from across three continents. It derives from the highly successful symposium on 'The H(3) and H(4) histamine receptors: the antihistamines for the 21(st) century', which took place at EPHAR 2008 in Manchester University, and encompasses new roles, new compounds and exciting new therapeutic areas for histamine.
