Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I extend an invitation to you to contribute to our upcoming Special Issue, “Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Kidney”. As the Guest Editor for this edition, I am excited to bring together leading experts to explore and advance our understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying kidney function and dysfunction.
The kidneys play a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis within the body, regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and overall metabolic stability. This Special Issue aims to delve into the latest advances and discoveries in renal physiology and pathophysiology, spanning a wide range of topics including but not limited to renal hemodynamics and filtration, tubular transport mechanisms, renal endocrinology, renal development and regeneration, and kidney diseases and disorders.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspective pieces that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field. All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of published articles. Our esteemed panel of reviewers will provide constructive feedback to authors, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Thank you for considering this invitation, and I eagerly anticipate your insightful contributions.
Dr. Gang Liu
Guest Editor
