Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchiectasis. Studies investigate mechanisms of airway inflammation, such as the role of specific cells (e.g., Th17 cells, megakaryocytes) and inflammatory mediators (e.g., IL-1β, IgE). The journal also covers chronic cough, its management, and patient burden, as well as outcomes related to lung transplantation and thoracic surgery in pediatric populations.
