Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding how viral infections cause disease is a dynamic field between studying viruses and host responses. The latter cannot only help us identify those patients at risk, but by in-depth analyses of the complex interplay between viral and host factors we can better understand viral pathogenesis. This Special Issue proposes the examination of specific host factors in virus infections. With a special focus on the response of the coagulation system and the interaction between the immunological and hemostasis response, the aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the different mechanisms, drivers, and modulators of viral pathogenesis, thereby paving the way to the identification of potential therapeutic host targets. We welcome review papers and original articles, but also perspectives, hypotheses, and opinion papers, that highlight recent findings in this area, with a particular emphasis on changes that underly specific host factors.
