Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dendritic cells (DCs) are truly major players in the immune system, particularly in adaptive immunity. In healthy individuals, DCs are drivers and fine-tuners of T-cell responses directed against invading pathogens or cancer cells. In parallel, DCs control autoreactive T cells, thereby maintaining T-cell tolerance. Under various disease conditions, a disruption of this delicate balance can lead to chronic infections, tumor evasion, or autoimmunity.
This Special Issue focuses on dendritic cells in the regulation of immune-mediated diseases. Submissions of original articles, systematic reviews, short communications, and other types of article on related topics are welcome. Manuscripts will follow standard journal peer-review practices, and those accepted for publication will appear in the Special Issue on Dendritic Cells in the Regulation of Immunity and Inflammation. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Diana Dudziak
