Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic asthma is the most widespread form of asthma. Its prevalence continues to rise in the third millennium due to complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Phenotyping, endotyping, and elucidating the mechanisms underlying allergic asthma are crucial for enabling clinicians to optimize treatment options and improve clinical outcomes for patients.
Beyond IgE and Type 2 inflammation, additional immunological pathways contribute to the clinical signs and symptoms of allergic asthma. Inflammation of the bronchial epithelium—acting not only as a physical barrier but also as an immunological resource—further exacerbates disease burden. Various cell types, particularly eosinophils, play a key etiologic role.
This IJMS Special Issue aims to collect both original research or review articles to advance the understanding of allergic asthma and its underlying mechanisms.
Dr. Silvia Brunetto (University of Messina) will assist in managing the Special Issue.

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.
