Experimental Biology 100 Years After the Foundation of the Italian Society: A Celebratory Special Issue

Dear Colleagues,

The Italian Society of Experimental Biology was established in Pavia, Italy, in 1925 by the “Gotha” of famous Italian physicians and researchers. Among them, Camillo Golgi, Giuseppe Levi, Camillo Artom, Maurizio Ascoli, Luigi Califano and Luigi Condorelli, along other famous “Masters” of the Italian academy are reported in the Constitute Act of the Society. They understood that the key for discovering the mechanisms of disease pathogenesis was in the hands of experimental biologists, scientists who applied experimental methods to biomedical research.

With this Special Issue, we want to celebrate one of the most important and popular scientific societies in Italy (and probably in the world) by publishing both original papers and reviews produced by researchers worldwide on the topics of experimental biology, such as anatomy, histology, embryology, physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, pharmacology, anthropology, cancerology, pathology, microbiology, etc. The fields of research also include advanced microscopy and imaging, aging, aquatic environments, artificial intelligence applied to biomedicine, biodiversity and modeling, biology of reproduction and infertility, biomedical and pharmaceutical biotechnology, cellular stress, environment and health, micro- and nanovesicles in biomedicine, neuroscience, nutrition and food supplements, plant biology, precision medicine, regenerative medicine, structural biology, urban biodiversity and climate change, and other arguments related to the emerging concept of “one health”.

Your contribution to this Special Issue will be very welcome!
