Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second edition of Nucleic Acid Sensing in Respiratory Diseases, which previously published 8 papers.
The recognition of host cell or pathogen-derived nucleic acids by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is essential to elicit host innate immune responses in numerous contexts, such as inflammatory diseases as well as auto-inflammatory or tumor settings. We intend to review the recent development in this field, including your recent discoveries in this thematic issue of Cells.
Basic aspects of cell stress-induced nucleic acid sensing and recent developments in the mechanisms of nucleic acid-mediated cell activation are welcome. Specifically, we invite studies on inflammatory and infectious diseases in general, including respiratory ones. Translational considerations and potential novel therapeutic targets will be of great interest.

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.
