Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic inflammatory illnesses and autoimmune disorders represent a major global health issue, characterised by persistent inflammation and immunological dysregulation, which can cause severe tissue damage and a lower quality of life. Despite advances in immunomodulatory therapy, current medications frequently have limited efficacy and serious adverse effects, emphasising the need for innovative therapeutic methods. This Special Issue will investigate cutting-edge solutions in the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune illnesses, with an emphasis on molecular and cellular advances. A focus will be placed on innovative biologics, small-molecule inhibitors, gene editing technologies, and cell-based therapeutics such as mesenchymal stem cells and modified immune cells that target key inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, this Special Issue will investigate the effect of gut microbiota manipulation, nanoparticle-based drug delivery methods, and personalised medicine techniques in improving therapy specificity and patient outcomes. Contributions that investigate the molecular pathways underlying disease aetiology, biomarker identification for early diagnosis, and clinical trial data on developing therapeutics are also welcome. Our aim is to create a comprehensive forum where academics and doctors can share recent progress, with the ultimate goal of transforming new research into better and safer therapeutic alternatives for patients. This Special Issue will promote interdisciplinary collaboration and close the gap between basic research and clinical applications in the field of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease management.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
