Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eosinophils play a key role in physiological processes, such as metabolism, tissue remodelling, microbiome regulation, and combating infections. Eosinophils-mediated inflammation is also involved in many pathological conditions, including asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, gastrointestinal disorders, vasculitis, hypereosinophilic syndromes, and certain cancers. In recent years, the introduction of biological drugs targeting eosinophils has greatly increased the interest in these cells, which is now a field of changing perspectives and new emerging directions.
This broad research theme welcomes original research, meta-analyses, and review articles from several perspectives, including basic, clinical, and translational research. This collection aims to provide important insight into the role of eosinophils in tissue homeostasis, host defence, and pathological conditions. We also encourage the submission of manuscripts focusing on eosinophil biology, the characterization of their subtypes, the novel biomarkers of eosinophilic activation, and eosinophil-targeted biologics.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Francescopaolo Granata and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Ilaria Mormile (University of Naples Federico II). We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Francescopaolo Granata

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
