Frontiers in Network Physiology is a multidisciplinary open-access journal that publishes rigorous and high-quality research on the physiological mechanisms underlying complex biological networks. We aim to foster a deeper understanding of how individual components interact to produce emergent properties in physiological systems. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: cardiovascular physiology, respiratory physiology, neural networks, endocrine systems, immune networks, and metabolic regulation. We welcome original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, perspective pieces, and methodology articles.
