Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humidification is essential therapy in mechanically ventilated patients and new technology advances have been developed in the last year. However, from a molecular and biology point of vew, inefective humidification (under- and over-humidification) is a well-known factor that “triggers” the lung inflammation process from the airway cells (mucociliary function, epithelial cell cilia damage, molecular disorders) to alveoli according to the laboratory and clinical studies published. However, there is no consensus about which humidification approache is the best to prevent this airway–alveoli cell disorder.
To address this challenge, this Special Issue entitled Humidification Approaches to Molecular and Mor-pho-Pathology Epithelial Airway Cell Injury in Mechanical Ventilation will present a comprehensive description and analysis related to the current and novel humidification strategies in mechanical ventilated (nasal high flow oxygen, noninvasive ventilation, invasive ventilation) humidification methods (setting, indications, measurement, technology, equipment and humidifier performance) and the molecular and morpho-pathology epithelial cell injury and repair mechanisms.

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.
