Biomedicines | Hot Papers in the “Endocrinology and Metabolism Research” Section

The “Endocrinology and Metabolism Research” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers of a high scientific level covering all the aspects of endocrinology and metabolism. Papers aimed at uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms in endocrinology and metabolism are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, gene regulation, cell biology, signaling, mutations, growth factors, cytokines, hormone receptors, hormone action and regulation, developmental endocrinology, genetic endocrinology, endocrine diseases (diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, hyperthyroidism etc.), and metabolic diseases. In this context, we are pleased to feature some recently published papers on endocrinology and metabolism in Biomedicines (ISSN: 2227-9059), which provide valuable insights into this exciting field.
