Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The immunological balance is one of the key factors of well-being, regardless of the participant's sex and age. The knowledge-based, damage-, and lifestyle-associated molecular patterns help us understand the mechanisms of the immunomodulating effect of physical effort and physical activity. This molecular mechanism will help explain the role of physical activity as a supportive component of treatment for various types of diseases. On the other hand, at the molecular level, we can find an understanding of the anabolic effect of physical effort among well-trained and professional athletes.
This Special Issue will focus on novel and primary research and in-depth reviews on the molecular mechanisms of immunomodulation effects of different types of exercise, regardless of one’s level of training or health condition.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Biomolecules 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.
