Physiology and Pathology
A section of Life (ISSN 2075-1729).
Section Information
This section of the journal Life rapidly and rigorously publishes contributions related to the health and disease of living cells, tissues, and organisms. Starting from a cellular and tissue perspective, the broad focus of this section also covers the emerging properties of the human organism system, including human behavior and motor control. Human diseases are another area of interest for this section. This aspect is investigated both from a pathophysiological and clinical perspective. Clinical application consequences are also of interest.
This section upholds high standards in terms of facts, ethics, and relevance from both a research and clinical application perspective. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Applied physiology
- Biomechanics
- Cardiovascular pathobiology
- Cell physiology
- Comparative pathology
- Comparative physiology
- Computational physiology and medicine
- Defense physiology
- Environmental pathology
- Exercise physiology
- Human behavior
- Integrative physiology
- Molecular physiology
- Motor control
- Neurophysiology
- Organismal physiology
- Pediatric pathology
