About this Research Topic
Recognizing the future leaders in vascular physiology is fundamental to safeguarding tomorrow's driving force in innovation.
This Research Topic will showcase the high-quality work of up-and-coming researchers in the early stages of their careers. These are researchers within 10 years of their PhD or MD completion across the entire breadth of vascular physiology, and present advances in theory, experiment and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
All Rising Star researchers will be suggested by the editorial office and established Editors within our board in recognition of their influence on the future directions in their respective fields. While future innovations in vascular physiology are yet to be discovered, this Research Topic will give the community a hint at whom to follow.
We particularly welcome papers that cover, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Cellular signals in vascular physiology and pathology
- Aging and vascular health
- Innovative non-animal models in vascular research (or, Alternatives to animal models in vascular research
- Emerging and evolving crises in cardiovascular health
- Novel imaging approaches in vascular research
- Lifestyle (diet, exercise) influences on vascular physiology and health
- Sex differences in vascular physiology
