Call for Papers:
Epigenetics in Kidney Health and Disease

We're looking for research that focuses on how epigenetics informs kidney development, health, and the initiation or progression of kidney diseases. Your research should define epigenetic mechanisms, use epigenetic modifying approaches, or develop new technologies in epigenetics.

The Editors are particularly interested in research that explores:

• How epigenetic pathways contribute to normal and abnormal kidney development.
• New epigenetic mechanisms that regulate kidney functions.
• The role of epigenome dysregulation in kidney diseases.
• New tools or approaches for studying the kidney’s epigenome or gene regulation.
• The influence of sex, age, stress, and prenatal programming on the kidney epigenome.

Submissions on these and related areas are encouraged.
Submit your work on this topic to American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology.

Submission Deadline: October 1, 2025
