Declining or Waning
- Historical Perspectives on Innate Immunity:
While the journal has published several historical reviews, the trend indicates a decline in interest towards historical analyses of innate immunity, suggesting a shift towards more contemporary and applied research. - Non-specific Immune Responses:
There appears to be a reduction in studies focused solely on non-specific immune responses, as more research is moving towards understanding specific pathways and targeted immune interventions. - Innate Immunity in Non-Mammalian Models:
Research utilizing non-mammalian models to study innate immunity has decreased, possibly due to the growing emphasis on mammalian systems that are more directly applicable to human health.
