Manipulating the Rat Embryo: Genetic and Stem Cell–Based Technologies for Physiological Research
Laboratory rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) have been invaluable to biomedical research and are well-suited for physiological analyses. Nevertheless, technical challenges in embryo and genetic manipulation have historically hindered the genera...

The Brain-Gut-Microbiome Axis: Exploring the Link Between Depression and Irritable Bowel Syndrome
The brain-gut-microbiome system is an integrated communication network linking the central nervous system, enteric nervous system, immune pathways, and intestinal microbiota. Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulation of this bidir...

Vascular Physiology and Pregnancy Complications
Maternal vascular adaptations to pregnancy optimize uterine and fetoplacental perfusion. When vascular remodeling and/or function are impaired, the maternal circulation may fail to meet the physiological demands of pregnancy, thereby inc...

The Physiological Challenge of Climate Change for Free-Living Terrestrial Mammals
Most scenarios that seek to predict the responses of terrestrial mammals to climate change focus on the direct thermal effects of higher ambient temperatures. Measurements from free-living mammals reveal that the physiological challenge ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid–Mediated Brain Clearance: Insights from Human Studies
Clearance of waste products from brain metabolism and by-products of brain injury is a fundamental aspect of normal brain function. Impaired clearance may cause accumulation of proteins and other substances that are harmful to the brain....

CaMKII in the Heart: From Homeostasis to Pathology
Calcium (Ca)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is a signaling molecule with critical roles in diverse cellular functions, particularly in the brain and heart, where it is highly expressed. In the heart, CaMKII regulates key...

From Oil Spills to Air Pollution: The Emergence of Phenanthrene as a Ubiquitous Cardiac Toxicant
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are released into the environment primarily through industrial processes and the incomplete combustion of organic matter. Their persistence in air, water, and soil facilitates widespread environmen...

Light Out of Sight: Signaling Mechanisms for Nonvisual Opsins
Life on earth evolved under daily cycles of sunlight, and all species developed mechanisms for detecting and responding to solar wavelengths reaching the surface of the earth. Early phototransduction studies found that our eyes detect vi...

The Representation of Nociception and Pain in the Developing Brain
Pain is a fundamental human experience, but how does it begin? Noxious stimuli elicit strong behavioral and physiological responses, even in the youngest newborns, reflecting early subcortical engagement, but the actual experience of pai...
