Grand Challenges in Systems Physiology
Systems physiology is an integrated discipline. It combines experimental, computational, and theoretical studies to advance our understanding of the physiology of human and other living creatures. In other words, systems physiology is systems biology with a physiology (i.e., functionally)centered view. Understanding the principle behind the system is one of the fundamental challenges in systems...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Vascular Physiology
Cardiovascular disease continues to reign as a leading cause of premature death (National Center for Health Statistics, 2007; Lloyd-Jones et al., 2010) having a major impact on global society from both a social and economic perspective. The costs of cardiovascular disease are projected to exceed $315 billion dollars annually in the US alone in 2010 (Heron, 2007; Mensah and Brown, 2007). Further...
متن کاملGrand challenges in organismal physiology.
169 As physiologists, we investigate the functional properties of living systems, from their molecular basis to their integration into the whole organism, and the interactions of organisms with the biotic and abiotic environments around them. Our research programs tend to focus on particular aspects of organismal function, be it a component of an ion channel, a particular tissue type or organ s...
متن کاملGrand and Less Grand Challenges in Avian Physiology
A series of grand challenges in avian physiology aremade. These challenges include determining the following. How themetabolic demands of flight are met including during migration and the unique control mechanisms? What is the neural, endocrine and paracrine control of gastro-intestinal functioning? How is the reproductive system of the hen controlled including recruitment and hierarchy of foll...
متن کاملGrand Challenges in Plant Physiology: The Underpinning of Translational Research
A grand challenge, it would seem, has to be grand, i.e., large and impressive in size, scope, or extent. While each plant physiologist would likely come up with a list of challenges in their own area of work, to be truly grand these should span the entire discipline of plant physiology, and ideally have significant impact on both science and technology. The question then is what is the scope of...
