Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Host–pathogen interactions are becoming a very dynamic and fast-paced research subject primarily due to the understanding that viruses modulate key cellular pathways to deviate them from their current trajectory in a direction that favors viral replication. This, in turn, has implications for disease severity and pathogenesis. The molecular mechanisms of disease progression have been directly linked with increased virus titer and virus–host protein–protein interactions. With this view in mind, we welcome submissions to this Special Issue focusing on host–virus crosstalk and understanding the link between innate immune and defense mechanisms and their modulation by the Influenza A virus.
