Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is designed to publish high-quality papers in Physiologia, a new journal dedicated to recent advances in the research area of physiology. The Special Issue explores topics including, but not limited to, the following: musculoskeletal physiology, endocrine physiology, adipose physiology, and cardiovascular physiology (in health, aging, and disease). This Special Issue presents a collection of research articles and review articles highlighting interesting findings in the field of human physiology.
Over the past years, our first three volumes have attracted a diverse range of high-quality contributions from renowned experts and emerging scholars alike. The publications have not only showcased the latest advancements and trends in human physiology but have also fostered valuable discussions and collaborations across the global research community.
Following this, we intend to annually update the Special Issue to provide scholars with the most recent and innovative perspectives on human physiology.
Prof. Dr. Philip J. Atherton
Guest Editor
