IMMUNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS
Scope & Guideline
Pioneering Insights in Immune Response and Therapy
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Immunological Mechanisms in Disease:
The journal explores the role of immune responses in various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancers, and infectious diseases, providing insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets. - Cytokine Profiles and Immune Regulation:
A significant focus is placed on the analysis of cytokine levels and their regulatory roles in immune responses, highlighting their implications in disease severity and treatment outcomes. - Extracellular Vesicles and Immune Modulation:
Research on extracellular vesicles as mediators of intercellular communication and their roles in modulating immune responses is a key area, emphasizing their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic agents. - Genetic and Epigenetic Influences on Immunity:
The journal investigates the genetic polymorphisms and epigenetic modifications that affect immune responses, contributing to our understanding of disease susceptibility and progression. - Therapeutic Approaches and Immunotherapy:
A core aim is to evaluate and discuss various immunotherapeutic strategies, including CAR-T cell therapies, dendritic cell vaccines, and other innovative treatments targeting immune pathways.
Trending and Emerging
- Neuroimmunology:
An increasing number of studies are exploring the interactions between the nervous system and immune responses, particularly in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and neuroinflammation. - Microbiome-Immune Interactions:
Research on the gut microbiome's influence on immune responses is gaining traction, highlighting its role in modulating inflammation and disease outcomes. - Extracellular Vesicles in Disease Modulation:
The role of extracellular vesicles in immune regulation and their potential as biomarkers or therapeutic vehicles is a rapidly growing area of interest. - Personalized Immunotherapy:
There is a notable increase in research focused on personalized approaches to immunotherapy, tailoring treatments based on individual genetic and immunological profiles. - Integrative Omics Approaches:
The application of multi-omics strategies, including genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics, is emerging as a vital tool for understanding complex immune responses in various diseases.
Declining or Waning
- Classic Autoimmunity Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing exclusively on traditional autoimmune disease mechanisms, as newer approaches and technologies are being prioritized. - Single-Pathway Investigations:
The trend towards studying single pathways or mechanisms in isolation is declining, with a shift towards more integrative and systems biology approaches that consider multiple interacting pathways. - In-Vitro Studies:
The prevalence of in-vitro studies is waning as there is a growing emphasis on in-vivo models and clinical studies that provide a more comprehensive understanding of immune responses in real biological contexts. - Inflammation without Contextual Disease Models:
Research focused solely on inflammation without linking it to specific disease contexts is less frequent, as the journal pivots to studies that connect inflammation with broader disease mechanisms and therapeutic implications.
