Contents Introduction News News and Views Tables Commentary Market Analysis
What makes the metabolic syndrome field tick? In this special feature of Nature Medicine, we set out to uncover the papers with the most impact in the discipline and to find out the funding priorities of the countries that are most affected by this health problem. The cover shows a transverse section of skeletal muscle, a key organ for glucose homeostasis. Image courtesy of Thomas Deerinck and Mark Ellisman, University of California, San Diego.
