eBook "Physiology in extreme conditions: Adaptations and unexpected reactions."

"Physiology in extreme conditions" was concerned with two main issues: (a) to increase knowledge about individual reactions and mechanisms of adaptations in specific extreme environmental conditions; (b) to widen the analytical skills gap created by data generated in extremely severe conditions, and in response to pathological disorders. A wide spectrum of topics was proposed by the included articles, which covered a wide variety of cases ranging from cellular systems to preclinical models. The focus was on healthy individuals experiencing extreme conditions induced by typically non-physiological environments. Studies of pathological relevance encompassing artificial organs were also comprised in the Research Topic.
