About

Model organisms and a wide set of experimental models have long been widely used in the field of biosciences, including a range of subject areas within physiology. Several important milestones have been achieved in the field thanks to their application, allowing scientists to develop concepts, technologies, and methodologies to better understand more complex living systems, including humans.

In addition to focusing on the many advantages of using model organisms and several experimental models in the field of Cardiac Electrophysiology, this Research Topic also aims to shed light on the challenges and limitations that accompany their application. This collection covers, but is not limited to, the following experimental models and model organisms:

- Large isolated (working) hearts
- Engineered heart tissue
- Single cells electrophysiology
- Isolated human hearts
- In situ animal models
- in-vivo models in small mammals
- Zebrafish as a model for human cardiac electrophysiology
- Drosophila as a model for atrial fibrillation

For a complete list of article types that can be considered, please follow this link. Even though abstract submission is not mandatory, we encourage all interested researchers to submit an abstract before submitting their manuscript. Abstracts do not have to coincide with the final abstract of the manuscripts.

This Research Topic is part of the Experimental Models and Model Organisms series of Frontiers in Physiology. Other titles in this series include:
