Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on "Advances in Immunomodulation for Inflammatory Diseases." Inflammation has emerged as one of the most dynamic frontiers in biomedical research, driving major advances in our understanding of human disease. While it remains a vital immune defense and repair mechanism, its dysregulation underlies a wide spectrum of disorders—including autoimmune diseases, metabolic syndromes, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer.
Recent discoveries have illuminated the inflammasome as a central hub linking innate immune sensing to systemic inflammation, bridging the gap between cellular stress, cytokine release, and tissue injury. The inflammasome and related innate immune pathways now represent cutting-edge therapeutic targets, revealing new opportunities to intervene in chronic and sterile inflammatory processes.
This Special Issue aims to deepen our understanding of immunomodulatory mechanisms in inflammatory diseases, emphasizing the molecular crosstalk, signaling pathways, and regulatory networks that sustain or resolve inflammation. By advancing insights into how immune cells communicate, differentiate, and are modulated under pathological conditions, we hope to foster novel perspectives that connect basic immunology with translational medicine.
We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews on topics including but not limited to the following:
- Novel signaling pathways in immune cell activation and regulation.
- Inflammasome biology and its role in disease pathogenesis.
- Mechanisms of innate immune memory and training.
- The contribution of adaptive immune cells (T, β cells) to inflammatory regulation.
- Immune cell metabolism and function in inflammatory contexts.
- Cellular interactions between immune and non-immune cells within inflamed tissues.
- Mechanisms and mediators contributing to inflammation resolution.
- Innovative in vitro and in vivo models for studying immunomodulation.
I look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and to advancing this evolving field together.
Prof. Dr. Seung-Yong Seong

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
