Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vaccine Development:
Research focusing solely on conventional vaccine development has diminished, with a shift towards novel approaches such as mRNA vaccines and dendritic cell vaccines. - Basic Immunological Mechanisms:
General studies on fundamental immunological processes without specific applications or disease contexts are less frequently published, as the field moves towards more translational and applied research. - Autoimmunity without Therapeutic Context:
Papers exploring autoimmunity without linking findings to therapeutic implications or translational research have become less common, indicating a preference for studies with direct clinical relevance. - Single Cell Analysis in Non-Cancer Contexts:
While single-cell analysis remains a hot topic, studies focusing on non-cancer contexts have decreased, as the applications in cancer immunology have gained more traction.
