The book “Advances in Arterial Chemoreception” is a comprehensive collection of reviews and research articles from experts in the field who attended the International Society for Arterial Chemoreception (ISAC) meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. This meeting, held in June/July 2020, brought together leading scientists and researchers to discuss the latest advancements in the field of arterial O2, CO2, and pH sensing.

Arterial chemoreception, specifically related to the carotid body, has seen significant progress over the last 70 years. The classical understanding of the carotid body and its role in sensing arterial blood gases has expanded to include its involvement in sympatho-mediated diseases and non-canonical roles. It has been discovered that carotid body dysfunction is associated with the development and maintenance of prevalent diseases ranging from cardio-metabolic diseases to asthma.

With a focus on understanding pathophysiological mechanisms and identifying new therapeutic targets, this book covers a wide range of topics related to chemical sensing in the carotid body. It also explores adaptive and maladaptive responses of arterial chemoreceptors to O2-dependent and O2-independent mechanisms, and their impact on respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic homeostasis in both healthy and disease conditions.

This volume serves as a required text for researchers in the field of arterial chemoreceptors, providing a valuable reference source for years to come. The contributors, including Sílvia V. Conde, Rodrigo Iturriaga, Rodrigo del Rio, Estelle Gauda, and Emília C. Monteiro, are renowned experts in the field, ensuring the credibility and depth of the content.
