Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of the molecular mechanisms underlying immune responses to viral infections and vaccines is crucial for advancing our understanding of host–pathogen interactions and improving therapeutic and preventive options. This Special Issue aims to address recent advances on the identification of key molecular players and pathways involved in the immune responses to viral infections, including innate and adaptive immunity. By examining the roles of various immune cells, cytokines, and signaling molecules, the goal is to provide insights on the processes that lead to effective viral clearance and long-term immunity in different populations. This Special Issue will include research articles using in vitro and in vivo approaches, as well as advanced techniques, such as genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics, to uncover novel targets for therapeutic interventions and vaccine development.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
