Background
Model organisms and a wide set of experimental models have long been widely used in the field of biosciences, including a range of subject areas within physiology. Several important milestones have been achieved in the field thanks to their application, allowing scientists to develop concepts, technologies, and methodologies to better understand more complex living systems, including humans.

Goals
In addition to focusing on the many advantages of using model organisms and several experimental models in the field of Vascular Physiology, this Research Topic also aims to shed light on the challenges and limitations that accompany their application. This collection covers, but is not limited to, the following model organisms and experimental models:
- In vivo rodent models of vascular dysfunction in different disease models
- In vitro models using normal vascular beds (including the use of tissue, 2D cell co-culture, 3D cell culture/organoids) derived from humans or animals and subjected to in vitro insults
- Studying the vascular function of human vascular beds from patients undergoing surgical procedures
- Studying the physiology and pathophysiology of the placental barrier
- Studying the impact of ion channels and receptor proteins on blood flow regulation in the brain
- Role of modulators of platelet aggregation in vascular function
- Studying the physiology and pathophysiology of the blood flow regulation in the systemic and/or pulmonary circulation

Scope and information for Authors
Manuscripts submitted to this Research Topic should be in line with the scope of the Vascular Physiology section. ​Several article types will be considered, please find more information here. ​The submission of review articles and original research papers are particularly welcome to this Research Topic.
