Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology publishes research on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying lung development, homeostasis, and disease. Articles focus on topics such as lung stem cell biology, epithelial and endothelial cell function, immune cell roles in lung inflammation, and the molecular basis of chronic lung diseases including COPD, cystic fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. The journal also covers research on regulated cell death pathways and their implications in lung pathologies, as well as the genetic and epitranscriptomic factors influencing lung health and disease susceptibility.
