Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Airway diseases are highly prevalent worldwide. Although, these diseases present several common characteristics, they have different clinical outcomes. Airway diseases are characterized as lung tissue disorders and respiratory dysfunctions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and many other respiratory diseases.
The cause of most respiratory diseases is smoking, infections, allergies, pollution, and genetic mutations. Unfortunately, many mechanisms involved in pathogenesis are not known.
At this moment, many pharmacological and therapeutic treatments are not completely effective. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory diseases and to develop new drugs.
This Special Issue aims to identify and promote the recent advances in the field of molecular mechanisms, novel drugs, therapeutic approaches, and new models to study the pathophysiology underlying respiratory diseases.

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. Biomolecules 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 2700 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.
