Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Development of the mammalian immune system occurs at several interlocked levels: organismal, organ, and cellular/molecular levels. The organismal level encompasses embryonic development, the neonatal period, and the maturation of the immune system in the adult. The immune cell types and functions are also specific to different organs. At the cellular/molecular level, various types and subtypes of immune cells expressing different cell-specific genes develop from the immune cell progenitors. For this Special Issue, we invite original research and review articles covering any of these subjects. We also hope to attract articles about the development and biology of immune systems and immune cells in invertebrate and nonmammalian vertebrate animals and plants.
Dr. Jacek Z. Kubiak

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.
