Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Allergic diseases and immune-mediated disorders represent a growing global health burden, driven by complex interactions between genetic, environmental, and immunological factors. Despite significant advances in understanding immune regulation, many of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying allergic sensitization, chronic inflammation, and immune dysregulation remain incompletely defined. This Special Issue, "Allergy and Immunity", aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the field, spanning fundamental immunology to translational and clinical research. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and communications that explore innate and adaptive immune responses, mechanisms of allergic disease pathogenesis, and emerging biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Emphasis will be placed on studies addressing epithelial–immune interactions, microbiome influences, immune metabolism, novel immunomodulatory strategies, and therapeutics. In addition, this Issue seeks to highlight advances in diagnostic approaches, including in vitro and in vivo models, as well as precision medicine strategies for heterogeneous allergic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. By bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue aims to advance the development of innovative therapies to improve patient outcomes in allergy and immune-related diseases.

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 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-anonymized 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.
