Current Updates on Asthma in Personalized Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

The global burden of asthma continues to rise, with an estimated 300 million patients worldwide. Scientific evidence indicates that asthma is a heterogenous disorder characterized by chronic airway inflammation that varies over time in symptoms, intensity, and expiratory airflow limitation. Over the last two decades, research has focused on identifying the underlying molecular mechanisms underlying this heterogenity with the goal of personalizing treatment strategies. Despite recent advances in targeted therapies, CDC statistics show that up to 60% of adults with current asthma can be uncontrolled. This Special Issue aims to advance knowledge on clinical and translational advances in asthma, with a focus on identifying endotypes, phenotypes, and treatable traits; novel treatment approaches, including inhalational strategies; targeted therapies; and ethnic and racial differences in response to treatment and treatment challenges. We are soliciting clinical studies, review articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses for this Special Issue.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
