Journal of Molecular Endocrinology 25th anniversary special issue

This special issue series of nine reviews, guest edited by Professor Ronald M Evans, will walk you through all of the key discoveries and themes of molecular endocrinology research since the birth of the field, before explaining the impact of the most recent breakthroughs. Written by the leaders of each field, the reviews demonstrate how far the field of endocrinology has come in understanding how the family of nuclear-active lipophilic hormones regulates body metabolism at the genomic level, as well as identifying novel pathways and candidate targets that can be pharmacologically manipulated to improve human health: from controlling metabolic disease to combating cancer.
