About this Research Topic
This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr Carolyn Ecelbarger, and Prof Hui Y Lan for the Renal and Epithelial Physiology section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances and future perspectives in the field of Renal and Epithelial Physiology. We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Physiology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in science in order to be at the forefront of science in different fields of research.
Professor Hui Yao LAN is a Choh-Ming Li is Associate Editor for Frontiers in Physiology and has led three Research Topics. He is Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong; Associate Dean of Faculty of Medicine and Associate Director, Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences; Director of Inflammatory Diseases Research.
Professor Carolyn M Ecelbarger is the Specialty Chief Editor for Frontiers in Physiology - Renal and Epithelial Physiology. She is Professor at the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Georgetown University. Her research is focused on molecular mechanisms that link hyperinsulinemia to sodium retention and hypertension in rodent models. Principal mechanisms include assessment of renal sodium transport proteins bumetanide sensitive NaCl cotransporters.
The Research Topic aims to publish and promote forward-looking contributions from the editorial board members that describe the state of the art, outlining, recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the Physiology field and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the status of the art of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
