100 years of Insulin and Glucagon
Endocrine-Related Cancer is pleased to announce a themed collection entitled: 100 years of Insulin and Glucagon, celebrating the discovery of Insulin in 1922 and Glucagon in 1923 and dedicated to hyperplasias and neoplasias associated with the hypersecretion of these two hormones, or associated with pathway defects in the synthesis or secretion of either one of these two hormones. Apart from glucagonomas and insulinomas, several other disorders are associated with the increased secretion of either one of these two hormones, like insulinomatosis, nesidioblastosis and glucagonomatosis.
This collection will highlight the developments in the field of insulinomas, glucagonomas and other disorders and hyperplasias and neoplasias associated with the hypersecretion of these two hormones.
