Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue of Cells, focusing on "The Role of T-cells in Lymphomas and Leukemias". This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research and advancements in understanding the critical functions of T cells in the pathogenesis, progression, and treatment of lymphomas and leukemias.
T cells play a pivotal role in the immune response against malignancies. Their involvement in both protective immunity and disease pathology offers a dual perspective that is crucial for developing targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes. This Special Issue seeks to compile cutting-edge research articles and reviews that explore various aspects of T cell biology in the context of these hematologic cancers.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Mechanisms of T cell activation and regulation in lymphomas and leukemias;
- The role of T cell subtypes in tumor immunity and the microenvironment;
- T cell-based immunotherapies and their clinical applications;
- Genetic and epigenetic modifications affecting T cell function in hematologic malignancies;
- The impact of the tumor microenvironment on T cell responses.
We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to contribute their original research articles and comprehensive reviews to this Special Issue. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of high-quality and impactful scientific work.
We look forward to your valuable contributions that will drive forward our understanding of T cells in the context of lymphomas and leukemias. Together, we can pave the way for innovative therapies and improved patient care.
Dr. Huda Salman
Guest Editor
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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
