  • In 2020, the journal expanded to 10 issues and has an impact factor of 1.973, showing its growing influence in the field.
  • Since 2019, it has been the official journal of the Italian AME, enhancing its credibility and attracting higher-quality research submissions while celebrating its anniversary by highlighting significant past and present articles.

Article Abstract

Over the past 20 years, Endocrine Metabolic Immune Disorders-Drug Targets (EMIDDT) journal has been covering a broad field of intertwined topics related to pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy of endocrine, metabolic, and immune diseases. At first, the journal publications were restricted to reviews only and, then, original article submissions have also been accepted. EMIDDT represents as a successful journal in continuous expansion with 10 issues in 2020 and a current impact factor (IF) equal to 1.973. Moreover, since 2019, EMIDDT is the official journal of the Italian AME (Associazione Medici Endocrinologi), also linked to the American Association of Endocrinologists. Such a connection has given more impetus to the journal in terms of additional higher-quality submissions. In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of EMIDDT, the content of some original representative articles published by the journal in the past and current years will be illustrated with special emphasis on cellular and molecular bases of drug targeting.

Adipokines regulate the development and progression of MASLD through organellar oxidative stress.

Hepatol Commun

February 2025

Central laboratory, Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, Shandong First Medical University & Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Jinan, Shandong, China.

The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is increasingly being recognized as a leading cause of chronic liver pathology globally, is increasing. The pathophysiological underpinnings of its progression, which is currently under active investigation, involve oxidative stress. Human adipose tissue, an integral endocrine organ, secretes an array of adipokines that are modulated by dietary patterns and lifestyle choices.

Insulin plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis. insulin-producing cells (IPCs) are functional analogues of mammalian pancreatic beta cells and release insulin directly into circulation. To investigate the in vivo dynamics of IPC activity, we quantified the effects of nutritional and internal state changes on IPCs using electrophysiological recordings.

WBSCR16 is essential for mitochondrial 16S rRNA processing in mammals.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Shanghai Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, 573 Xujiahui Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai 200025, China.

Mitochondrial rRNAs play important roles in regulating mtDNA-encoded gene expression and energy metabolism subsequently. However, the proteins that regulate mitochondrial 16S rRNA processing remain poorly understood. Herein, we generated adipose-specific Wbscr16-/-mice and cells, both of which exhibited dramatic mitochondrial changes.

The zona glomerulosa (ZG) synthesizes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. The primary role of aldosterone is the maintenance of volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Aldosterone synthesis is primarily regulated via tightly controlled oscillations in intracellular calcium levels in response to stimulation.

A deep intronic variant associated with X-linked hypophosphatemia in a Finnish family.

Research Program for Clinical and Molecular Metabolism, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki 00014, Finland.

Hypophosphatemic rickets is a rare bone disease characterized by short stature, bone deformities, impaired bone mineralization, and dental problems. Most commonly, hypophosphatemic rickets is caused by pathogenic variants in the X-chromosomal gene, but autosomal dominant and recessive forms also exist. We investigated a Finnish family in which the son (index, 29 yr) and mother (56 yr) had hypophosphatemia since childhood.
