  • Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1: an Italian survey on 158 patients (2021, Journal of Endocrinological Investigation)
  • Blocking the Thyrotropin Receptor with K1-70 in a Patient with Follicular Thyroid Cancer, Graves' Disease, and Graves' Ophthalmopathy (2021, Thyroid)
  • Practical applications of studies on the TSH receptor and TSH receptor autoantibodies (2020, Endocrine)
  • Structure of full-length TSH receptor in complex with antibody K1-70™ (2022, Journal of Molecular Endocrinology)

Bernard Rees Smith has published articles in several venues, with frequent contributions appearing in the Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, Acta Diabetologica, Endocrine Journal, Clinical Endocrinology, and Journal of Endocrinological Investigation.

Throughout their career, they have collaborated extensively with a network of coauthors. Frequent co-authors include Jadwiga Furmaniak, Jane Sanders, Paul W. Sanders, Michael J. Powell, and Mabel Ryder.
