Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Respiratory infections remain a critical global health concern, demanding innovative approaches to understanding and managing their impact. This Special Issue, "Immunity to Infections—Respiratory", aims to explore the complex immune responses involved in combating these infections, focusing on both fundamental biological processes and advanced technological approaches. We welcome contributions that investigate the cellular physiology of immune responses, particularly studies on how immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes respond to respiratory pathogens. In addition, we are keen on articles that leverage data analytics and AI automation to offer novel insights into the immune system’s behavior and its interaction with respiratory infections. Submissions that explore AI-driven models to predict immune responses, streamline disease detection, or optimize treatment strategies are particularly encouraged. This issue also invites research on host-pathogen interactions, highlighting mechanisms by which respiratory pathogens evade or manipulate the immune system. By assembling a diverse array of research, this issue aims to advance the understanding of respiratory immunity and encourage new pathways for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
