Our recent webinar, “Is Physiology Dead?” showcased the potential to strengthen physiology’s future. Physiology remains essential as a cornerstone of life sciences despite challenges like shifting funding and limited presence in early education. We can enhance its visibility by promoting systems-level research, integrating physiology into school curricula, and emphasizing its unifying role in biology. Outreach, interdisciplinary collaboration, and policy engagement will inspire new interest and investment. With a proactive approach, physiology can thrive, driving innovation in research and education while preparing future generations to lead in this vital field. The future of physiology is full of promise!

Pressure-volume (PV) loop studies are the gold-standard for measuring direct cardiac function, providing researchers with comprehensive, load-independent data. Correct pressure-volume catheter placement within the ventricle is essential for collecting high-quality data and ensuring accurate measurements.

Having the right set of tools for your small animal, invasive pressure studies is essential for building confidence in the quality of the data you are collecting, especially when it comes to long-term studies.
