Announcements

The “Immunology and Immunotherapy” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers of a high scientific level covering all the aspects of immunology and onco-immunology. The papers aim to uncover and provide insights into the modulations of the immune system, active and passive immunotherapies, the diagnostic tests based on specific markers, and the use of new technologies to identify novel predictive factors that respond to immunotherapy. Topics include, but are not limited to, in vivo/in vitro immune responses research; targeted therapies (including antibody research and vaccine research); virotherapy and oncolytic vaccines; the use of nanoparticles and microvesicles for developing immunotherapeutics; etc. In this context, we are pleased to feature some recently published papers on immunology and immunotherapy in Biomedicines (ISSN: 2227-9059), which provide valuable information on this exciting field.
