Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you and members of your research group to submit an article to this Special Issue titled “Emerging Biomarkers and Novel Diagnostic Tools in Respiratory Diseases: From Bench to Bedside”.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances in the identification and clinical application of emerging biomarkers and innovative diagnostic technologies in respiratory diseases. The goal is to bridge basic science discoveries with real-world clinical practice, improving early diagnosis, disease phenotyping, and personalized therapeutic strategies. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are welcomed, with a special focus on studies integrating molecular, imaging, and functional biomarkers for precision medicine in respiratory care.
In this Special Issue, we pursue original research studies and reviews that advance the knowledge of clinicians on diagnostic biomarkers for any respiratory disease.
Furthermore, we are particularly interested in studies about novel non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers, e.g., in exhaled breath and/or in sputum. In addition, aspirant authors are encouraged to submit the results of human studies and clinical trials.
