Current Research on the Cellular and Molecular Basis of Allergic Diseases
This special issue belongs to the section "Molecular Pathology, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic diseases affect hundreds of millions worldwide, driving morbidity, healthcare burden, and loss of quality of life, so mechanistic and translational research is critical in enabling personalized prevention and more effective, durable therapies.
We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives on molecular mechanisms, immunopathology, genomics/epigenomics, biomarkers, allergen structure, novel therapeutics (biologics, small molecules, immunotherapy), microbiome–allergy interactions, environmental/exposome influences, and precision medicine across asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, food and drug allergies, and anaphylaxis. Studies integrating multi-omics, advanced models, and human cohorts to inform clinical translation are especially encouraged.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
