The Physiology and Pharmacology of Leucine-rich Repeat GPCRs
(2016)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent a large and physiologically important class of cell surface receptors. There are approximately 750 known GPCRs present in the human genome that can be subdivided into general ...
Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Extracellular Calcium-Sensing Receptor
(2018)
Calcium is vital for human physiology; it mediates multiple signaling cascades, critical for cell survival, differentiation, or death both as first and as second messenger. The role of calcium as first messenger is mediated ...
Physiology and Pathophysiology of Musculoskeletal Aging
(2015)
We live in a world with an ever-increasing aging population. This aging population is predicted to place a huge financial burden on healthcare systems around the world. Understanding healthy ageing is a key research priority, ...
Physiology in Extreme Conditions: Adaptations and Unexpected Reactions
(2017)
Physiology in extreme conditions can reveal important reactions of the human body, which help our assessment of limits emerging under healthy conditions and critical signals of transition toward disease. While many mechanisms ...
Never-resting microglia: physiological roles in the healthy brain and pathological implications
(2015)
Microglia are largely known as the major orchestrators of the brain inflammatory response. As such, they have been traditionally studied in various contexts of disease, where their activation has been assumed to induce a ...
New Advances in Electrocochleography for Clinical and Basic Investigation
(2018)
Electrocochleography (ECochG) is an approach for objective measurements of physiologic responses from the inner ear. Measurements have classically been made from electrodes placed in the outer ear canal, on the tympanic ...
Plasticity in the sensory systems of invertebrates
(2014)
The visual, olfactory, auditory and gustatory systems of invertebrates are often used as models to study the transduction, transmission and processing of information in nervous systems, and in recent years have also provided ...
Plastic Surgery for the Oncological Patient
(2016)
The develoment of plastic surgery techniques allows for preserving and reconstruction of function after resection of malignant tumors. From split thickness skin grafts to pedicled and free tissue transfer multiple techniques ...
Plasticity in Multiple Sclerosis: From Molecular to System Level, from Adaptation to Maladaptation
(2016)
This research topic aims at providing a state of the art update on neuroplasticity in humans with multiple sclerosis. It summarizes advances in plasticity research as achieved by a variety of techniques, in the motor as ...
Plastic Pollution
(2017)
The presence, at sea, of large amounts of plastic and microplastics, which are sometimes invisible and results from the fragmentation of larger debris, requires an in-depth knowledge of the nature of ocean debris, its ...
Optimizing the Delivery of Multiple Ecosystem Goods and Services in Agricultural Systems
(2017)
Agricultural land is subjected to a variety of societal pressures, as demands for food, animal feed, and biomass production increase, with an added requirement to simultaneously maintain natural areas and mitigate climatic ...
Optimizing Miscanthus for the Sustainable Bioeconomy: From Genes to Products
(2018)
In this Research Topic we report advances in fundamental and applied aspects of the perennial C4 bioenergy crop Miscanthus (Miscanthus spp.) and its role in mitigating climate change as part of the bioeconomy. Miscanthus ...
