ONLINE JOURNAL
The American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology
 The American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular and
Molecular Physiology publishes original research covering the
broad scope of molecular, cellular, and integrative aspects of normal and
abnormal function of cells and components of the respiratory system.
Areas of interest include conducting airways,
pulmonary circulation, lung endothelial and epithelial cells, the pleura,
neuroendocrine and immunologic cells in the lung, neural cells involved in
control of breathing, and cells of the diaphragm and thoracic muscles.
The processes to be covered in the Journal include gas-exchange, metabolic
control at the cellular level, intracellular signaling, gene expression,
genomics, macromolecules and their turnover, cell-cell and cell-matrix
interactions, cell motility, secretory mechanisms, membrane function,
surfactant, matrix components, mucus and lining materials, lung defenses,
macrophage function, transport of salt, water and protein, development and
differentiation of the respiratory system, and response to the
environment. Reports of research using innovative approaches in cell and
organ physiology, molecular and cellular biology, molecular genetics, genomics
including animal models of integrative function, biochemistry, biophysics,
and morphology, are welcome. The Journal also encourages submission of
original manuscripts in the field of translational physiology, an area of
research that bridges the gap between basic lung, cellular, and molecular
physiology and patient care. Manuscripts in this area may transfer
clinical insights into hypotheses that can be tested and validated in the
basic research laboratory, or they may transfer knowledge gained from
basic research to human pathophysiology and to improved methods of
treating or preventing disease.

Essays
on the APS Classic Papers - The American Physiological
Society is proud to announce that the full historical content of its 14
journals, going back to the very first issues of the American Journal
of Physiology in 1898, is now available online. To commemorate this
event, we have asked 24 authors to write essays on some of the most
significant articles from the body of APS literature.
