Pediatric Pulmonology: Recent Developments and Emerging Trends—Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second edition of “Pediatric Pulmonology: Recent Developments and Emerging Trends” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/XVLT2908MX) and is being launched following the success of the first edition, which included six high-quality articles and garnered significant attention, with over 23,400 views.

Pediatric pulmonology research has made significant strides in recent years, providing new insights in this field. This Special Issue will highlight recent developments and emerging trends in pediatric pulmonology, focusing on advancements in disease definitions and classification, the identification of new biomarkers, effective lung function tests, and advancements in respiratory endoscopy.

Notably, adult pulmonary diseases seem to have an origin in early life events, enhancing the need for early prevention and therapy. Understanding the impact of early-life factors on the development of pulmonary diseases is crucial in improving long-term outcomes.

Our aim in launching this Special Issue is to highlight recent knowledge and research in pediatric pulmonology. We invite researchers and experts in this field to contribute their valuable insights and findings to this Special Issue to advance our understanding and improve the management of pediatric pulmonary diseases.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Athina L. Papadopoulou
Guest Editor
