Extreme Animal Physiology and Implications for Human Health

This collection of papers explores how the understanding of animals with unique and extreme physiologies can provide insight into human health, such as tissue regeneration, psychological distress, metabolism, and hypoxia. Animals that are explored include prairie voles, dwarf lemurs, axolotl salamanders, and more. The novel experimental findings, timely reviews, and unique perspectives will not only further our understanding of animal physiology but also have the potential to advance human healthcare. This virtual issue is edited by Elena Gracheva (Yale University) and Slav Bagriantsev (Yale University).
