Modulation of the Immune System in Inflammatory Diseases and Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Dear Colleagues,

In inflammatory diseases, a disbalance of the immune system plays a decisive role. An increasing number of drugs, biologics, and vaccines are being developed to modulate the immune system. Many immunomodulators suppress proinflammatory cytokines and stabilise inflammatory diseases. 

For this Special Issue, entitled “Modulation of the Immune System in Inflammatory Diseases and Hidradenitis Suppurativa”, review articles, original articles, and larger case series from various specialities of rheumatology, dermatology, neurology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, virology, pharmacology, and oncology are welcome. Topics will include, but are not limited to, the following areas: 

• Inflammatory diseases and potential immune system modulators;
• Newly discovered targets for drugs or vaccines in inflammatory diseases;
• New insights into the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases;
• Potential adverse effects of immunomodulators or treatment response.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Vaccines.
