Advances in the Molecular Biology of Lung Disease 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

A novel era in respiratory medicine is approaching. New innovative scientific techniques, including omics sciences, as well as the analysis and interpretation of Big Data through the implementation of artificial intelligence and bioinformatic algorithms, have already demonstrated tremendous and unseen perspectives for the comprehension of the pathobiology of many respiratory disorders.

This Special Issue of IJMS represents a call for articles that provide new insights into the molecular aspects of the physiology and biochemistry of respiratory diseases. Submissions with an emphasis on emerging approaches, such as omics sciences (genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, lipidomics and glycomics) and cytofluorimetric assays, are welcome. The molecular and immunological bases of diseases are often poorly understood, and so are the effects of aging, gender, smoking, pollution and pharmaceutical intervention.

This Special Issue aims to expand the current comprehension of the molecular pathogenesis of lung diseases and the biomolecular effects of the newest currently approved therapeutical approaches. Experimental studies, including in vitro and in vivo models, review articles and clinical studies, are all eligible for consideration.

Dr. Paolo Cameli

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
