The past 10 years-new hormones, new functions, new endocrine organs

Roger Bouillon et al. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2015 Nov.

Abstract

Since the publication of the first issue of this journal in November 2005, our understanding of the endocrine system has evolved, with the identification of novel hormones and novel endocrine roles for previously identified molecules. Here, we have asked six of our Advisory Board Members to comment on how these insights have led to the recognition that many organs and tissues that were not widely considered part of the classic endocrine system in the past have important endocrine functions.
