Posters
Throughout 2005 the Society for Endocrinology presented a series of limited edition posters marking the hormone centenary. The posters celebrated just a few of the many fields of endocrine research that have increased our understanding of hormonal regulation, and enabled clinical endocrinology to save or improve the lives of millions of people worldwide. Each poster links to a special centenary review article ('Starling reviews') in the Society's flagship publication, Journal of Endocrinology.
