Hot Topics in Physiology
Aim & scope
The aim of this project is to establish an authoritative book series on contemporary research topics and themes within the many areas of physiology and pathophysiology, broadly defined to include related fields such as cell biology, neuroscience, and immunology. Each volume is intended to provide a state-of-the art introduction to “hot” (i.e., timely and preferable, also controversial or unresolved) areas of physiological research. A philosophical goal is to elucidate mechanisms and principles the underlie physiological processes, the imbalance of which results in disease (i.e., pathophysiology), which is a constant threat to human life.
Authoring the individual chapters of each volume will be leading figures in the field.
Although many existing physiological journals publish reviews, we see a need for commissioning reviews within specific areas into volumes that form a book series, such as “Hot Topics”. Thus, unlike reviews in research journals, our volumes of reviews will provide the reader with a cohesive collection that includes different experimental approaches and academic lines of thought. Unlike typical review journals, our volumes will offer the advantage of providing multiple views into a particular hot topic.
Audience
Appropriate for advanced undergraduates, PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty in various fields related to physiology. Anyone who desires a deep understanding the mechanisms underlying both normal physiological processes and diseases would be attracted to this series. For each book, the audience could therefore be a subgroup of researchers in life sciences (e.g., neurophysiologists, cell biologists, comparative physiologists, marine biologists, physician scientists).
