Immunoendocrinology

This book will explore in detail the current knowledge of immunoendocrinology, namely endocrine disorders produced by disorders of immune function. It will cover both basic pathophysiology informed by studies of animal models (where specific animal models are most informative) as well as the predominant, current understanding of other related clinical diseases -- their pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy. Given the wealth of new data related to type 1 diabetes, approximately half of the book will be devoted to this condition and related disorders.
