MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR ENDOCRINOLOGY

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology was established in 1974 to meet the demand for integrated publication on all aspects related to the biochemical effects, synthesis and secretions of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) and to the understanding of cellular regulatory mechanisms involved in hormonal control. The journal is fulfilling this aim by publishing full-length original research papers, rapid papers, invited reviews, At the Cutting Edge essays, and book reviews.The scope encompasses all subjects related to biochemical and molecular aspects of endocrine research and cell regulation. These include: (1) mechanisms of action of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.), (2) interaction of these factors with receptors, (3) generation, action and role of intracellular signals such as cyclic nucleotides and calcium, (4) hormone-regulated gene expression, (5) structure and physicochemical properties of hormones, hormone receptors and other hormone-binding components, (6) synthesis, secretion, metabolism and inactivation of hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. (7) hormonal control of differentiation, (8) related control mechanisms in non-mammalian systems, (9) methodological and theoretical aspects related to hormonal control processes, (10) clinical studies as far as they throw new light on basic research in this field, (11) control of intermediary metabolism at the cellular level, (12) ultrastructural aspects related to hormone secretion and action.

分子和细胞内分泌学成立于1974年，是为了满足对与细胞外信号(激素、神经递质等)的生化作用、合成和分泌有关的所有方面的综合性出版物的需求，以及对激素控制所涉及的细胞调节机制的理解。该杂志通过发表完整的原创研究论文、快速论文、邀请评论、前沿文章和书评来实现这一目标。范围包括所有与内分泌研究和细胞调节的生物化学和分子方面有关的学科。这些包括:(1)细胞外信号的作用机制(激素、神经递质、等等),(2)这些因素与受体的相互作用,(3)生成、行动和环核苷酸等细胞内信号的作用和钙,(4)hormone-regulated基因表达,(5)的结构和物理化学性质激素,激素受体和其他hormone-binding组件(6)合成、分泌,代谢和失活的激素,神经递质,等等。(7)激素控制的区别,(8)相关控制机制在非哺乳类系统中,(9)的方法论和理论方面相关激素的控制过程,(10)临床研究到他们把新的基础研究在这一领域,(11)控制的中间代谢在细胞水平上,(12)超微结构方面相关的激素分泌和行动。
