Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Respiratory airways and lungs are exposed to the external environment and are vulnerable to invasion by pathogens. Respiratory mucosa and epithelial cells form the first line of defense against invading pathogens. A complex interplay between the structural components and specialized immune cells is essential to mitigate/prevent respiratory infections. An emerging concept of 'inflammatory memory,’ i.e., a memory from a previous immune event that leads to a rapid and robust immune response, has gained tremendous attention. This Special Issue covers topics related to respiratory mucosal immunity, our present knowledge of innate immune memory/inflammatory memory, and the role of inflammatory memory in modulating the immune response against respiratory pathogens. The Special Issue may also cover topics including advances in mucosal vaccines, novel vaccine adjuvants, and other research tackling the challenges in mucosal immunity of respiratory airways.
We invite distinguished researchers to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting original research and review articles highlighting recent progress in the above-mentioned fields
