Special Collections
Endocrine Connections publishes basic, translational and clinical research and reviews in all areas of endocrinology, including papers that deal with non-classical tissues as source or targets of hormones and endocrine papers that have relevance to endocrine-related and intersecting disciplines and the wider biomedical community. In response to the broad scope of the journal, the editorial team have decided to create a series of special collections, bringing together the latest published content on a specific type of article or topic from the journal.
Endocrine Connections is a fully open-access journal, and therefore all the articles included in the special collections are free to read by all.
Explore the collections
ENDO-ERN Vol II: Rare Diseases and Transition in Care
This collection focuses on topical issues including patient transition from paediatric services, genetic testing, virtual consultations and tools to improve healthcare for patients with rare endocrine diseases.
Endocrine Rhythms
This collection delves into the latest discoveries and advancements in natural hormone cycles, offering insights into how these rhythms impact our health and how we can harness this knowledge to improve patient outcomes.
Transcriptional Drivers of Endocrine Disorders
Led by Collection Editors Rosalia Simmen (University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences) and Gwen Lomberk (Medical College of Wisconsin), this collection is designed to highlight the dynamic landscape and the highly interactive network of key transcriptional factors underlying endocrine disorders. A better understanding of their molecular signalling processes may unlock the next frontier in precision medicine to enhance disease management and patient survival.
Thyroid Disease in Ageing Populations
A collection designed to help further improve the quality of management of thyroid diseases in the elderly, as well as the the understanding of the prevalence and risk factors of thyroid diseases, including thyroid dysfunction, nodular thyroid disease, and especially thyroid cancer.
New Avenues in Male Reproductive Health
A collection pulling together an array of research focused on improving the treatment of male reproductive disorders. This collection has partnered with Reproductive Endocrinology 2024, a new event from the Society for Endocrinology.
Diabetes Technology in Managing Diabetes
A special collection showcasing the use of diabetes technologies for the management of diabetes.
Klinefelter Syndrome Workshop
A collection of articles following the 3rd International Workshop on Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and XYY, held in 2022 in Leiden.
Vitamin D
Led by Guest Editors Professor Susan Lanham-New, Professor Martina Rauner and Professor Josef Köhrle, this special issue will provide clinicians and researchers with a comprehensive update on the latest developments in Vitamin D research from across the globe, through a series of reviews and recent research.
European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN) Vol I: 5th Anniversary Collection
The series is in collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions. It forms part of the Network's 5th year celebrations which are running throughout 2022. Edited by Senior Editor George Mastorakos (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens), and Collection Editors Violeta Iotova (Medical University of Varna) and Jerome Bertherat (Hôpital Cochin).
Late Effects of Cancer Treatment
Led by Collection Editors Claire Higham and Judith Gebauer, this special issue is designed to initiate discussions and critique of currently available recommendations; to evaluate current knowledge and to highlight the importance of continuous adaption and development of clinical and mechanistic research around late effects and surveillance strategies to ensure optimal long-term follow up for every cancer survivor.
