Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Respiratory Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on our lives. Thus, we must pay more attention to respiratory diseases, particularly their molecular mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment. These actions will directly affect and contribute to the survival of human beings.

This Special Issue aims to collect various research articles on respiratory diseases. Studies focusing on the molecular mechanisms, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these diseases will be prioritized. This Special Issue will improve our understanding of the occurrence of respiratory diseases and possible approaches to early diagnosis and precise treatment.

In this Special Issue, original clinical and basic research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, respiratory failure, ARDS, COVID-19, and obstructive sleep apnea. I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Te-Chun Shen
