Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in genetic and genomic tools have contributed to fundamental breakthroughs in our understanding of diverse biological processes, with cellular immunology being no exception. Differentiation, signaling, regulation and interactions of each major immune cell type and their underlying cell subsets rely on underlying genetic factors, creating a myriad of fine-tuned molecular processes that act in concert with each other in the defense against pathogens and altered self-structures and the protection of the host.
In this Special Issue, we invite both fundamental and clinical researchers to report their findings on the molecular genetics of cellular immunity. Contributions are expected to highlight the impact of genetic diversity on cellular immune traits, explore the genetic factors related to particular pathogenic or protective cellular immune responses in patients with infections, autoimmune diseases or cancer, and characterize the functional effect of genetic variants in animal models and in in vitro cellular systems. The contribution of various types of research articles is encouraged, including original fundamental research, clinical genetic studies, interesting case reports, systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

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. Genes 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 2600 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.
Keywords
- genetic variant
- gene expression
