Who would have thought — myokines two decades on

Nature Reviews Endocrinology volume 16, pages 619–620 (2020) Cite this article

Subjects

At the time, following our findings in the 2000s, we knew the concept of skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ was important. Eight years on, the magnitude of the importance of this concept surprises us.
