Effects of Nutrients on Immune and Inflammatory Responses
This special issue belongs to the section “Nutritional Immunology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would be very pleased to receive from you a manuscript for inclusion in the Special Issue entitled “Nutrients on Immune and Inflammatory Responses,” to be published in Nutrients. Manuscripts will be due on or before April 30, 2021. The topic is a very exciting and timely one, and, therefore, I anticipate a very interesting collection of papers that elucidate new understandings of how specific nutrients and/or dietary patterns influence the health and response of the immune system. All experimental approaches are welcome, from basic discovery science to clinical studies and epidemiological investigations. All manuscripts will undergo full peer review. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts. Please feel free to pass this opportunity on to colleagues working in the field of nutrition and immunity, as we hope to have a large and broad collection of manuscripts for this edition.
Prof. Dr. A. Catharine Ross
Guest Editor
