About this Research Topic
This Frontiers Research Topic is launched in a post-pandemic recovery moment within the occasion of the 2nd International Meeting of the Portuguese Physiological Society. Together with the Brazilian Physiological Society and the Spanish Society of Physiological Sciences, multiple initiatives were creatively developed in these pandemic years to preserve our researchers' goals and propagate knowledge dissemination. This "back to a new normal" is a historical statement on our resilience.
This Research Topic resumes and updates significant research created and developed in the laboratories of the abovementioned physiological societies.
The theme of “Emerging Topics in Human Physiology” is based on recent knowledge, accelerated and experienced in these last two years and fostered by novel technologies and methodologies to characterize physiological functions and mechanisms. Contemporary visions and contributions from molecular biology and immunology, computational engineering, and artificial intelligence, among other fields, attract scientists from many different domains and transforms physiology research. This integrative capacity provides a unique way of conceptualizing biomedical research to understand life, health, and disease.
This Research Topic welcomes contributions that improve our understanding about the processes and mechanisms in current and emerging themes of human physiology. Potential areas of interest may include, but are not limited to the following areas:
- Neurophysiology
- Locomotion / Exercise / Muscle / Active Living
- Heart, Circulation and Respiration
- Renal and Urinary Physiology
- Gastrointestinal physiology
- Endocrine Physiology, Reproduction and Development
- Skin Physiology
- Integrative Physiology
We welcome the submission of different article types to this collection, especially reviews, mini-reviews, short-papers and full original research papers. For a complete list of article types, please follow this link. We encourage all interested researchers to submit an abstract before submitting their manuscript.
