Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The lungs and airways are affected by several pathologies such as inflammation, infection and cancer. We know that the combination of biomarkers yields more information when analyzing the association between systemic inflammation and lung function. Indeed, pulmonary biomarkers may be useful in diagnosis, predicting disease progression, indicating disease instability and predicting response to current therapies and novel therapies, many of which are now in development.
In addition, studies have shown that abnormally developed lung structure and function may contribute as susceptibility factors in several adult lung diseases such as COPD, cystic fibrosis and asthma, caused by many etiologies, including genetic–environmental interactions. Thus, lung development and pathogenesis are connected, indicating the need to identify more biomarkers at early stages.
Ιn this Special Issue, we would like to welcome the submission of original research studies (either clinical or basic), meta-analysis and state-of-the-art reviews related to pulmonary diseases. Focus will be placed on the identification of biomarkers in the context of precision medicine for patients with pulmonary diseases. Within the scope of these terms, this Special Issue aims to collate novel data so as to move the current knowledge of pulmonary diseases forward.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
