The immune system plays a key role in protecting the host from microbes and chemicals, preserving bodily homeostasis. Moreover, it is involved in sensing danger signals originating from host components during disease onset and progression, in addition to the repair of tissues. The immune system can thus significantly influence overall physiological and pathophysiological responses. Cells of the innate and adaptive immunity can interact with cellular and matrix components of several tissues, with this interaction being strictly regulated. The “Cellular Immunology” Section of Cells (ISSN: 2073-4409) aims to publish findings that provide novel insights and/or conceptual advances to the knowledge of the phenotypic, biochemical, and molecular features and functional mechanisms of immune cells.
