Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue (SI), we seek contributions exploring the changing context and the rising new perspectives within lung diseases. The emphasis of this SI is on the dynamics of change and evolution of the latest progresses made, as well as on the evolving methods and responses in research across the field of lung diseases. This SI aims to inform, inspire, and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
The topic welcomes manuscripts covering, but not limited, to the following themes:
- Novel imaging techniques to facilitate accurate diagnosis and treatment approaches;
- Recent methods to identify causal biological pathways and clinically relevant biomarkers of respiratory diseases.
The recent advancements and developments reached in the field of lung diseases, especially over the past year, have been exceptional and are the result of the great achievements made by researchers and scientists thus far. The growing interest surrounding the lungs and their diseases, with a real explosion in the last year and a half caused by the appearance and spread of COVID-19, is motivated by our poor understanding of the triggering events and natural history of different lung diseases.
In order to explore this fast-growing field, this journal is launching this new Special Issue on the evolution of methods, processes, techniques, and ways of thinking related to lung diseases that have led to new discoveries and research approaches.
