Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vaccinology:
Research focused on traditional vaccine formulations and their immunological responses has seen a decline as more innovative approaches, such as mRNA and viral-vectored vaccines, gain prominence. - Basic Mechanisms of Immune Tolerance:
Studies purely focused on the basic mechanisms of immune tolerance without translational implications are appearing less frequently, as the emphasis shifts towards clinical applications. - Single-Agent Cancer Therapies:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers dedicated to single-agent therapies in cancer treatment, with a growing interest in combination therapies involving immunotherapy. - Animal Models in Immunology:
Publications primarily centered on animal models without clear translational relevance to human health are becoming less common, as the field moves towards more clinically relevant studies. - Basic Immunology Without Application:
Research focusing solely on basic immunological principles, without a clear application to disease or therapy, is being overshadowed by studies with direct clinical implications.
