INTERNATIONAL IMMUNOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Leading the Charge in Immunological Discoveries and Developments.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cellular Immunology:
Investigates the roles and interactions of various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells in both health and disease. - Molecular Mechanisms of Immunity:
Explores the signaling pathways and molecular interactions that govern immune responses, including cytokine signaling, transcription factor regulation, and receptor-ligand dynamics. - Autoimmunity and Inflammation:
Focuses on the mechanisms underlying autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions, aiming to elucidate the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic interventions. - Cancer Immunology:
Examines the immune system's role in tumor development and progression, including the development of immunotherapies and the study of tumor microenvironments. - Microbiome and Immunity:
Studies the interactions between the microbiota and the immune system, particularly how microbial communities influence immune responses and contribute to health and disease. - Translational Immunology:
Aims to bridge basic immunology research with clinical applications, focusing on novel therapeutic strategies and vaccine development.
Trending and Emerging
- Immunometabolism:
Research focusing on the metabolic pathways of immune cells and their influence on immune function is gaining traction, indicating a recognition of metabolism as a critical regulator of immune responses. - Microbiome-Immune Interactions:
There is an increasing exploration of how gut and other microbiomes interact with the immune system, suggesting a shift towards understanding holistic health and disease mechanisms. - Advanced Immunotherapy Strategies:
The development and refinement of immunotherapies, including CAR-T cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, are trending topics as researchers seek to enhance anti-tumor immunity. - Neuroimmune Interactions:
A growing body of research is emerging on the interplay between the nervous system and immune responses, particularly in the context of chronic diseases and stress. - Regulatory Immune Cell Subsets:
There is heightened interest in understanding the roles of various regulatory immune cells, such as Tregs and Bregs, in maintaining homeostasis and their potential in therapeutic interventions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vaccine Research:
While vaccine development remains critical, there has been a noticeable decrease in publications specifically focused on traditional vaccine approaches, possibly due to the increased focus on novel platforms and mRNA technologies. - Basic In Vitro Studies:
There is a waning interest in basic in vitro studies that do not translate to in vivo findings or clinical relevance, as the journal increasingly prioritizes research with direct implications for human health. - Single-Cell Analysis of Immune Responses:
Although single-cell technologies were previously a hot topic, the saturation of studies in this area without significant new insights has led to a decline in related publications.
