The 2023 Annual Conference of the Midland Society of Physiological Sciences (MSPS)

This Abstract eBook contains all abstracts accepted at the 2023 Annual Conference of the Midland Society of Physiological Sciences (MSPS), an official chapter of the American Physiological Society (APS). The mission of MSPS is to foster advances in physiology-related research, education, and science. We expect that through communications and collaborations among members and participating institutions, MSPS can serve as a hub for promoting scientific training and enhancing public awareness of physiology and associated research. The annual meeting is the most important part of the endeavor to fulfill the mission of MSPS. The theme of the 2023 annual meeting is “Integrative Physiology Toward Future” which focuses on cutting-edge technologies with the potential to transform current physiological research, for example, artificial intelligence (AI)-based toolkits and computation algorithms for biomedical research. You will find the interdisciplinary nature in the accepted abstracts, encompassing basic and translational biomedical research and clinical studies. The diverse and cutting-edge topics of the outstanding abstracts submitted by trainees and faculty represent a key feature of this conference. In addition to postdoctoral trainees and graduate students, we have strong participation from high school and undergraduate students in 2023, which suggests that the endeavor for cultivating future physiologists has rooted in the younger generation. By publishing this Abstract eBook, the 2023 MSPS Annual Conference Organizing Committee hopes to increase the visibility of the great research achievements by MSPS members and to inspire interdisciplinary collaborations worldwide, which is key to success in current biomedical research.
