Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you and members of your research group to submit an article for a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Immunohematology: From Pathophysiology to Tailored Treatments”.
In recent years, the field of immuno-hematology has rapidly expanded, with improved characterization of the pathogenic mechanisms linking inborn errors of immunity and hematological diseases (autoimmune cytopenia, lymphoproliferation, malignancies, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis). Moreover, there has been an increasing use of immunological therapeutic strategies (i.e., monoclonal antibodies) in both benign and hematological diseases.
With this Special Issue, we aim to provide an overview of the most relevant innovations in immuno-hematology, with a focus on clinical and therapeutic perspectives. We welcome the submission of original research and review papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Inborn errors of immunity with hematological involvement;
- Cellular therapies for hematological diseases;
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for inborn errors of immunity and hematological diseases;
- Precision medicine in immuno-hematology;
- Immunization strategies in patients with immunohematological diseases.
Dr. Giorgio Costagliola
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.
