Journal of Physiology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Physiology welcomes submitted research papers in all areas of physiology and pathophysiology.

We are particularly keen to publish papers that have a clinical or translational focus, to help further our understanding of the role physiology plays in health and disease.

Authors should present original work that illustrates new physiological principles or mechanisms.

Papers on work at the molecular level, cell membrane, single cells, tissues or organs and on systems physiology are all encouraged.

We are also keen to publish work on lower vertebrate or invertebrate models or preparation (eg.

Drosophila, C. elegans and zebrafish), as long as they further the understanding of the functioning of other organisms including mammals.
