Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nasal mucosa, a critical interface between the external environment and the internal milieu, is a frequent site of inflammatory disorders. This Special Issue of Cells aims to explore the latest advancements and emerging concepts in the understanding of nasal inflammation. We invite submissions that delve into the intricate interplay between diagnostic innovations, the evolving definition of inflammatory endotypes, the coexistence of distinct inflammatory patterns, and the significant role of environmental factors and their changes in shaping the nasal landscape.
This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research focusing on, but not limited to, the following: novel diagnostic approaches: innovative techniques and biomarkers for the accurate and early diagnosis of nasal inflammatory conditions; refining inflammatory endotypes: advances in characterizing and classifying the underlying inflammatory mechanisms in the nose; the spectrum of inflammation: investigations into the co-occurrence and interaction of different inflammatory profiles within the nasal mucosa; and environmental influences: studies exploring the impact of environmental factors, including pollutants, allergens, climate change, and the microbiome, on nasal inflammation and disease progression.
