Respiratory Research is calling for submissions to our collection on Pulmonary fibrosis: new insights. The field of pulmonary fibrosis has gone through substantial changes in recent years, with several traditional views on disease pathogenesis and treatment being challenged and replaced by more convincing concepts. The collection seeks manuscripts that address the diagnosis, characterization and management of pulmonary fibrosis, with emphasis on novel concepts of disease pathogenesis, predictors of disease behavior and response to treatment and developmental drugs.
The role of the immune system in the pathobiology of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is controversial.
This Collection welcomes submission of Research Articles, Data Notes, Case Reports, Study Protocols, and Database Articles.
Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you have read our submission guidelines. Articles for this Collection should be submitted via our submission system, Snapp. During the submission process you will be asked whether you are submitting to a Collection, please select "Pulmonary fibrosis: new insights" from the dropdown menu.
Articles will undergo the journal’s standard peer-review process and are subject to all of the journal’s standard policies. Articles will be added to the Collection as they are published.
The Editors have no competing interests with the submissions which they will handle through the peer review process. The peer review of any submissions for which the Editors have competing interests is handled by another Editorial Board Member who has no competing interests.
