Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Molecular Advances and Perspectives of Lung Disease”. Lung disease is characterized as lung tissue disorder and respiratory dysfunction, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia and tuberculosis, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and many other respiratory diseases. Lung disease is a common disease and affects more than tens of millions of people in the U.S. Infection, smoking, pollution, and gene mutations cause most lung diseases, while the potential mechanisms of various lung diseases are still elusive. Due to limited effective pharmaceutic and therapeutic approaches, millions of people continue to struggle with lung disease and suffer from breathing problems. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanism of lung disease and developing novel pharmaceutical and therapeutic approaches to respiratory disease are urgently needed. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of molecular mechanisms and pharmacological progression for lung disease.
This Special Issue is aimed at providing selected contributions on advances in the molecular mechanism of lung disease. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Molecular mechanism of lung disease;
- Novel therapeutic approaches to lung disease;
- New model for lung disease;
- Innate immunity in lung disease;
- Novel drug deliverry approaches for lung disease;
- Drug discovery for lung disease.

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.
