  • Therapeutic developments in pharmacology, biologics, and regenerative medicine
  • Interventional techniques (bronchoscopy, ventilation management, device-based therapies)
  • Preventive medicine and population health strategies for respiratory disorders

The journal serves as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, connecting basic scientists, clinicians, and public health experts to address global challenges in antimicrobial resistance, environmental lung diseases, health disparities, and respiratory pandemic response.
