Description
Summary:The purpose of Molecular Basis of Pancreas Development and Function is to bring together the many different aspects of and the recent discoveries in the understanding of pancreatic endocrine development and its close links to endocrine cell physiology and dysfunction in diabetes. The intention is to combine the knowledge from clinical observations in certain diabetic syndromes with the rapidly growing insights derived from basic molecular biological investigation. At the end of the book, future impacts of these studies are outlined in which the knowledge that is gained from basic studies will be translated into new forms of treatment for diabetes. It is hoped that this book will serve established investigators, newcomers to the diabetes research community, and clinicians interested in the molecular basis of the syndromes that they encounter.
