在过去的几年里，分子科学的爆炸性增长已经对整个医学产生了相当大的影响，尤其是内分泌学。内分泌学是医学的一个分支，在某些方面与基础分子科学联系最为紧密。本系列多年来一直试图将正在进行积极研究的领域与临床内分泌医学联系起来。这些卷集中在分子研究领域的内分泌学前沿，并将特别尝试评估其对当前临床实践的影响。其他卷将尝试探索内分泌学最新和最创新的治疗策略，允许充分探索目前可用或正在研究的最新颖的药物。
The explosive growth in molecular science over the past few years has had considerable impact throughout medicine, not least in endocrinology, which is the branch of medicine in some ways most closely allied to basic molecular science. This series has for many years attempted to link areas undergoing active investigation with clinical endocrine medicine. The volumes focus on areas of molecular research at the cutting edge of endocrinology, and will particularly attempt to assess their impact on current clinical practice. Other volumes will attempt to explore the newest and most innovative therapeutic strategies in endocrinology, allowing a full exploration of the most novel drugs currently available or under investigation.
