“This special collection of articles demonstrates the breadth of Endocrinology research in Australia and are testament to ongoing discovery research, clinical translation and patient studies directed towards a better understanding of the basis and cause of endocrine disease, including new clinical treatments for endocrine disorders, particularly those with unmet needs. The collection contains papers on timely topics such as a better understanding of the aetiology of endocrine cancers (pituitary, prostate and breast), adrenal driven disease (primary aldosteronism) and the impact of reproductive hormones on endocrine dysfunction (diabetes and reproductive disorders).”
Professor Tim Cole, Guest Editor

 

“Endocrinology is a rapidly advancing field. In this special collection, we have invited accomplished colleagues from the Endocrine Society of Australia, to share their knowledge and insights. One focus has been how mechanistic studies influence clinical research, which in turn highlights areas where basic science makes key contributions. We hope these articles spanning mineralocorticoid receptor, activins and inhibins, ACE2, androgens, prostate cancer, pituitary tumours, growth hormone, PCOS, diabetes prevention, and diabetic foot ulcers, reflects a diversity of interests and approaches, all aimed at translating research into better outcomes for people with endocrine disorders.”
Professor Bu Yeap, Guest Editor

 

Journal of Endocrinology is an official journal of the Endocrine Society of Australia (ESA). Founded in 1958, ESA is a national non-profit organisation of scientists and clinicians whose purpose is to educate about, engage in and promote clinical practice and research in endocrinology in the region and world-wide. Its primary activities include education, research and fostering communication between clinicians, scientists, the public and policy makers.

Journal of Endocrinology also welcomes submissions of original research for inclusion in this collection. Please submit by 30th June 2023 stating in your cover letter that you wish for your article to be considered for the ESA collection. Alternatively please email the editorial office joe@bioscientifica.com for further information.
