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 invertebrates as model organisms in the field of Physiology and Biosciences Research, 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 applications of invertebrates as model organisms:

- Invertebrates for elucidating virus-host interactions
- Invertebrates as hosts for protein/vaccine productions
- Synthetic biology in invertebrate model system
- Drosophila melanogaster as a model for human diseases
- Non-model insects - can they be used as model systems?
- D. melanogaster as a model for toxicology studies
- Utility of the C. elegans model system

For a complete list of article types that can be considered, please follow this link. Even though abstract submission is not mandatory, we encourage all interested researchers to submit an abstract before submitting their manuscript. Abstracts do not have to coincide with the final abstract of the manuscripts.
