Updates in Cell and Molecular Mechanisms of Autoimmune Diseases—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This is a continued issue of Special Issue “Updates in Cell and Molecular Mechanisms of Autoimmune Diseases”.

The scope of the Special Issue of “Updates in Cell and Molecular Mechanisms of Autoimmune Diseases 2.0” is to offer the possibility of collecting high-quality publications and to provide an interdisciplinary approach by submitting original papers, case series, and updated reviews on various aspects of autoimmune disorders including Kawasaki disease, type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, vaccine-mediated autoimmunity including adjuvant effect, thyroid disease, thrombosis, and post-infectious (e.g., COVID-19) autoimmunity. The cell and molecular regulations of autoimmune diseases in central and peripheral immune systems are welcome to address the aspects of cell kinetics and/or molecular dynamics, particularly balance between Th17 and Treg development, for further precision target therapy. The identifications of epigenetic and/or genetic regulation of or predisposition to autoimmune diseases are also expected to provide for prediction and prevention. Physiological pathway interactions, theranostics of extracellular vesicles, alternative therapeutic strategies, and new methods in diseases or drug treatments for autoimmune disorders are also awaited.

Prof. Dr. Kuender D. Yang
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 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-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.
