Editorial: Adrenal Cortex: From Physiology to Disease

The adrenal gland plays essential roles in the control of body homeostasis, stress, and immune responses. The adrenal cortex represents up to 90% of the gland and is specialized in the production of adrenal steroids. The coordinate production of these steroids relies on adrenal cortex zonation, which corresponds to the establishment of distinct concentric functional zones in the perinatal perio...

Invited editorial on "Myogenic satellite cells: physiology to molecular biology".

SKELETAL MUSCLE RESEARCH within the last 25 years has exploded with great interest and enthusiasm among many physiologists, molecular biologists, and biochemists. This has occurred because an enhanced physiological function of skeletal muscle improves the overall health status of an individual. In fact, we and others have argued that increasing muscle size and performance will reduce physical f...

Editorial: Perspectives in General Physiology

In this issue of The Journal of General Physiology we begin a new initiative: Perspectives in General Physiology. The purpose of these Perspectives is to provide a forum where scientific uncertainties or controversies can be discussed in an authoritative yet open manner. The Perspectives will be solicited by the editors—often based on recommendations by the advisory editors or members of the ed...
