Each May in the U.S. is National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month which is observed to raise awareness about osteoporosis, promote prevention, and early detection. Bone health is one of the cornerstones of endocrine science and practice, so we felt that this was the perfect issue to take a look at some of the recent...
Males diagnosed with classic congenital hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency require lifelong treatment, with adolescence the most challenging treatment period, notes a review article in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism and a supplement sponsored by Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., an American biopharmaceutical company that develops for neurological and endocrine-related disorders. To replace the...
Recipient of the Endocrine Society’s 2025 Roy O. Greep Award for Outstanding Research, Barbara Kahn, MD, discovered very early on that pursuing basic science could be just as rewarding as treating patients with chronic illnesses. She tells Endocrine News about her career journey, why she relishes working with so many enthusiastic junior scientists, and the...
Andrea C. Gore, PhD, of the University of Texas in Austin, discusses her recent Journal of the Endocrine Society paper, which found that early-life exposure to a class of endocrine-disrupting chemicals called polychlorinated biphenyls – banned for decades but persistent in the environment — may lead to behavioral problems later in life. Late last year,...
