Frontiers of Hormone Research

Scope

New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research. The individual volumes of this series explore cutting-edge topics in the field of endocrinology and metabolism, providing the most updated, critical opinions of international leading researchers and clinicians. Going from in vitro studies to daily clinical applications, each volume presents a state-of-the-art overview including a discussion of future perspectives.
