Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the biological pathways underlying the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases (such as COPD, lung cancer, lung fibrosis, and asthma, among others) is one of the most relevant fields for biomedical research in respiratory medicine. This Special Issue aims to focus on the most recent advances and molecular discoveries of the pathways and processes involved in lung pathogenesis, which could serve as a basis for the development of potential therapies and diagnostic tools, such as predictor biomarkers (specially microRNAs and other molecules that can be found in liquid and tissue biopsies). Original research, as well as review articles, are welcome in this Special Issue, although cutting-edge methodologies might also be considered. The spread of such advances will provide the basis and standards for further research and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Dr. Amanda Iglesias
Guest Editor
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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
