Editorial Mission
Our editorial mission spans mechanistic, translational, and clinical research in respiratory medicine. We publish original research, comprehensive reviews, and methodological advances that elucidate disease pathways, biomarker discovery, molecular targets, and pathogenesis mechanisms.
Scope Coverage
From asthma and COPD to pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis, pleural diseases, interventional pulmonology and bronchoscopy, lung transplantation, and tuberculosis.
Airway Diseases
Asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis pathophysiology and inflammatory mechanisms.
Interstitial Lung Diseases
Pulmonary fibrosis, ILD progression, molecular markers and therapeutic targets.
Respiratory Infections
Pneumonia, tuberculosis, viral respiratory diseases, and antimicrobial resistance.
Critical Care
ARDS, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, and ICU interventions.
Interventional Pulmonology
Bronchoscopy innovations, pleural procedures, and minimally invasive techniques.
Lung Transplantation
Transplant immunology, rejection mechanisms, and long-term outcomes.
Original Research
Mechanistic studies with validated endpoints and transparent methodology.
Systematic Reviews
Evidence syntheses clarifying mechanisms, diagnostics, or treatment strategies.
Methods & Protocols
New diagnostic tools, assays, or analytical frameworks with benchmarking.
