The Research of Neutrophil

Dear Colleagues,

Neutrophils are the most abundant, short-lived, and terminally differentiated white blood cells. They constitute the first line of defense against foreign invaders using major effector mechanisms: phagocytosis, degranulation, and NETs formation. Traditionally neutrophils were considered as terminally differentiated, homogenous cell populations of the innate immune response, however, different studies started to highlight the subpopulation heterogeneity and pivotal role in immunity,  inflammation and cancer. All scientists involved in the field of neutrophil biology are welcome to contribute to the understanding of the role of neutrophil in physiology and pathology, providing clues for better management and newer therapeutic opportunities for neutrophil-centric disorders. Both original and review papers are welcome.

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.
