Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, immune cell biology has undergone significant advancements, shedding light on the mechanisms that regulate the behavior of immune cells in both health and disease. This dynamic research field investigates the complex molecular pathways orchestrating immune cell maturation, differentiation, activation, and proliferation, offering valuable insights into the etiology of autoimmune, immunoinflammatory, and hematological disorders. This Special Issue of Biomedicine invites authors to contribute original research papers and reviews on the molecular mechanisms underlying autoimmune, immunoinflammatory, and hematological disorders. This issue explores the molecular mechanisms that enable the differentiation of immune cells from precursor cells, their polarization into effector cells, and the functioning of the regulatory signaling pathways that shape immune responses. Additionally, it focuses on the processes of immune memory formation and on the genetic and molecular alterations leading to the transformation of normal immune cells into neoplasms. The primary goal is to expand our understanding of these diseases, paving the way for more targeted diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

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. Biomedicines 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.
