Our Journal
Did you know? The original journal of the International Society for IGF research was entitled “Growth Regulation”. GH and IGF Research started in 1998 as the journal of the two societies, GRS and IGF. It combined “Growth Regulation” and “Endocrinology and Metabolism” and coincided with the amalgamation of their publishers, Churchill Livingstone and WB Saunders.
The IGF Research Society and The Growth Hormone Socieity now publish a common journal: “The Journal of GH and IGF Research”.
