Pollen Allergies
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic reactions to pollen represent the most frequent type I allergies, affecting up to 30% of the population of industrialized countries. Given this importance, and the growing number of identified and immunologically characterized pollen allergens, the journal Medicina is launching a Special Issue entitled “Pollen Allergies”. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this special issue with original research, as well as review articles reporting in the field of pollen allergies, e.g., on allergenic molecules, allergy diagnosis and therapy, vaccine design and development.
Dr. Michael Hauser
Prof. Dr. Fatima Ferreira
Guest and Co-Guest Editor
