Membranes to Fight SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Dear Colleagues,

Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the world, and there have been more than two million confirmed cases. A few months later, thousands of patients worldwide required intensive care treatment. We were and still are in a race against the clock. The international efforts of the scientific community are directed towards finding effective treatments and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. In this Special Issue, the editors encourage authors to submit high-quality manuscripts presenting new research results, as well as new perspectives, focusing on current or future knowledge on extracorporeal therapies for critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections.
