Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sinonasal disorders, such as acute/chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyposis, allergic/non-allergic rhinitis, empty nose syndrome, sinonasal neoplasms, etc., frequently cause physical and psychiatric illness. Despite the rapid progress of medicine, some sinonasal disorders remain complex and have a significant impact on the modern global economy.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the disease mechanisms and treatment innovations in rhinology and allergy. Rapid progress in basic science, translational medicine, and biomedical technology has significantly improved our understanding of the pathophysiology underlying rhinologic and allergic disorders. We invite authors to submit original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diseases in rhinology and allergy, as well as innovative diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

Advances in disease mechanisms and treatment innovations would provide practical information about precise medicine and prediction in response to medical or surgical therapy and are therefore pivotal.

Dr. Chien-Chia Huang
