This issue of the journal shows the variety of research in our field.
From very basic research evaluating the role of epithelial cells in upper airway inflammation to quality of life research not only of our patients but this time also of the rhinologists themselves. Epithelial cells are among the first responders to invading allergens and microbes, and mount an immediate innate immune response. Defects in the innate response and the barrier function of the epithelium seem to play an important role in diseases like allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS).
