Overview

Molecular physiology is a branch of the biological sciences, which focuses on the study of how molecules within cells and tissues of the body function and interact, in order to maintain normal cellular processes or ‘homeostasis’ of the body. Research in molecular physiology seeks to understand the fundamental mechanisms of how molecular structures function, interact and communicate with each other - this includes genes, proteins, enzymes, cellular membranes, DNA and RNA. Molecular physiology examines how alterations in molecular structures can lead to physiological disorders, and investigates ways to treat, prevent or cure these disorders through targeted interventions at the molecular level. Researchers in molecular physiology use various techniques such as biomolecular modelling, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and molecular imaging to investigate the relationships between molecular structures and physiological functions. Recently, advances in molecular physiology have led to new discoveries about complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. These discoveries have the potential to revolutionize medical treatments, leading to personalized medicine treatments that target specific molecular defects or mutations. The scientific community recognises the importance of this field and many international physiology journals feature articles that cover recent advances in molecular physiology. Such scientific journals not only provide a platform for researchers to disseminate their findings, but they also assist in the exchange of knowledge and ideas, which is essential to further progress in the field of molecular physiology. Overall, the field of molecular physiology is a valuable tool in the pursuit of advancing our understanding of the biological world and developing new treatments for disease.
