Scope
Renal and Epithelial Physiology deals with all aspects of renal physiology ranging from molecular and cellular physiology of renal cells to translational research bringing renal research to the bedside. In addition, the Specialty will also consider papers on the fundamental properties of epithelial tissues that are not covered by other areas of physiology. We welcome original papers on a broad range of subjects relating to the kidney, urinary tract, and their respective cells and vasculature, as well as to the control of body fluid volume and composition. Contributions that use cellular and molecular approaches to shed light on the structure and function of epithelial cell membranes and membrane channels, transporters and pumps; and studies dealing with integrated regulation of epithelial cellular function, including mechanisms of signal transduction, development, gene expression and cell-to-cell interactions, are also encouraged. Studies may involve human or animal models, individual cell types, and isolated membrane systems. Authors are encouraged to submit reports on research using a wide range of approaches to the study of function in epithelial and renal systems, such as biochemistry, immunology, genetics, mathematical modeling, molecular biology and physiological methodologies. Papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of epithelial tissues, the kidney, urinary tract and the regulation of body fluids are also encouraged.Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), EMBASE, Semantic Scholar, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Science Citation Index Expanded, CLOCKSS, EBSCO, OpenAIRE, Zetoc
Renal and Epithelial Physiology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Renal and Epithelial Physiology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Renal and Epithelial Physiology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Physiology.
