Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue “Advanced Research on Immune Cells and Cytokines”.
In recent years, there have been tremendous developments pertaining to biotechnological methods that have made it possible for researchers to identify and better characterize immune system cells and the cytokines they secrete. New cell types and cytokines have been described, and new functions have been uncovered, leading to a better understanding of the immune response and how it is influenced by other physiological systems. Some of this research is being translated into novel immunomodulatory treatments, many of which fall short of the new insights that are emerging from in vitro and animal studies.
For this topic, we invite contributions describing new data on immune cells and cytokines in all areas of molecular, cellular, and clinical immunology.
In particular, we welcome contributions that describe the following:
(1) New functions of cells and cytokines;
(2) New mechanistic insights into their disease function;
(3) New data for the use of immune cells and cytokines in the diagnosis and treatment of immune diseases.
Prof. Dr. Athanasia Mouzaki

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.
