Regulatory Peptides

J. M. Polak and S. R. Bloom For some time Experientia has published, as a unique feature, interdis­ ciplinary multi-author reviews, giving a comprehensive overview of sub­ jects regarded as 'growing edges' of science. The enthusiasm shown by the readers was contagious and thus it was felt...
