Clinical Immunology: Diseases Control and Prevention

Dear Colleagues,

Clinical immunology provides the recent and core information required to understand diseases with an immunological basis, which covers the underlying pathophysiology, the signs and symptoms of disease, the investigations required, and guidance for the management of patients. With the exploration of clinical studies in the control and prevention of general diseases through immunology research, the application of practical immunological techniques and methods and will further introduce new and emerging research.

Recent discoveries from basic and clinical research in the field of clinical immunology have led to significant progress, including a better understanding of the natural histories of diseases, risk predictors, and treatment options and strategies. This knowledge developed from a mechanistic approach focusing on disease symptoms and complex immunological pathways as well. However, the complexity of the immune system has led to some intrinsic obstacles with clinical research, particularly in relation to targeting the right genes, identifying the appropriate patient populations, and accessing internal tissues for testing. Therefore, the scope and aim of this Special Issue is to cover recent studies on medicines and immunological therapies in clinical research, and to deliver a comprehensive concept and examples in daily life.
