Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pneumonia remains a major global health burden, with significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and supportive care. Recently, research has highlighted that pneumonia is not merely an acute infectious disease but a complex inflammatory condition with far-reaching systemic consequences. This Special Issue, “New Insights into Pneumonia Pathophysiology—from Lung Fibrosis to Coagulation Disorders”, aims to explore the multifaceted biological mechanisms underlying pneumonia. The pathophysiological interplay between immune dysregulation, endothelial dysfunction, and thromboinflammatory responses offers new perspectives for diagnostic biomarkers and targeted therapies. Seeking cutting-edge research on cellular and molecular mechanisms, clinical imaging, disease management, and translational models, this Special Issue encourages the submission of contributions that enhance our understanding of pneumonia and its associated complications. We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews that elucidate specific pathways or propose innovative approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This Special Issue hopes to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and accelerate the integration of emerging pathophysiological insights into clinical practice.
