Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the biological pathways underlying the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases is one of the most relevant fields for biomedical research in respiratory medicine. All conditions directly or indirectly related to the respiratory system have a biological basis, the identification and understanding of which is necessary for the identification of future therapeutic targets. Airway diseases (COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis), pulmonary neoplasms, pulmonary circulation diseases, interstitial pneumopathies, respiratory infections, and processes affecting the upper airway (obstructive sleep apnea, rhinitis) are clear examples of processes with a profound impact on both the patient and the health care system and which require special attention to improve the understanding of their biological determinants. In this context, different laboratory approaches, from simple protein determination and characterization to complex systems biology analyses and high-throughput technologies, constitute a particularly relevant opportunity in these medical contexts. In this Special Issue we would like to call upon the research groups dedicated to respiratory diseases so that, by joining forces, we can improve the knowledge of respiratory diseases. We know that only collaborative research efforts will be the basis for improving the diagnosis and treatment of these processes.

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.
