Then and Now
To celebrate Diabetologia’s rich history we commissioned a series of articles featuring one or more highly cited classic papers from the archives of our journal. The authors of these commentaries were invited to describe the major findings of these papers and to assess their impact on the field today. This diverse and interesting series was called Then and Now.
