About this Research Topic
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.
In addition to focusing on the many advantages of using model organisms and several experimental models
in the field of Clinical and Translational Physiology, this Research Topic also aims to shed light on the challenges and limitations that accompany their use in physiological studies. This collection covers, but is not limited to, the following model organisms and experimental models:
• Animal models of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• CRISPR Modeling of inherited cardiomyopathy
• Zebrafish models to study cardiovascular diseases
• Cell-based studies to study cardiac diseases: the potential of primary cells derived from humans (including iPSCs)
• Use of spheroid and organoid cell culture models
• Application of ‘omic technologies
• Heart-on-chip models
• Electrophysiology: experimental models to study the role of cardiac ion channels in disease
• Artificial intelligence models of viscoelastic tissues
• Biomechanical models in soft tissue research
• Imaging and monitoring of neurotransmitters and exerkines
• Models used in biological rhythm research with connection to cardiovascular research
• Telemetry
Manuscripts submitted to this Research Topic should be in line with the scope of the Clinical and Translational Physiology section. Several article types will be considered, please find more information here.
