an Endocrinology Basic Science Collection
Read a special collection of six Endocrinology mini-reviews aspects of insulin functioning! The collection was completed in October 2022.
Topics covered include preproglucagon products and their roles in regulating insulin secretion; lipid droplets’ role in the regulation of β-cell function; and capillary endothelial insulin transport. The collection also has articles on contributions of microRNAs to peripheral insulin sensitivity; the role of incretins in insulin function; and the β-cell response to secretory demands and adaptation to stress.

Basic Science Collections in Endocrinology are collections of mini-reviews that editors invited from prominent scholars with the intention of providing cohesive, expert discussion of a set of conceptually linked topics that have seen important recent progress. An introductory article serves as a “hub” that connects and introduces the reviews within each collection, using “companion articles” links in the right-hand rail of each article’s XML presentation.
