Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This thematic Special Issue will focus on the immune system as an active participant in health and diseases. Immunology is one of the most complex fields of life science and a highly competitive research field to publish new and rare ideas and findings, in particular for young scientists. Millions of scientists utilize their expertise in medicine and biology to focus on autoimmune diseases, cancer, immunodeficiency’s, age-associated impairments (immune-aging) and other immune disorders to help patients and cure diseases. Aim of this special issue is to provide an overview and an update on trends in clinical translation of basic research in immunology with special focus on aging.
In this Special Issue, entitled “Immunology: You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear”, we invite the submission of original research and comprehensive review on this field particularly which lie outside the current scientific understanding with high scientific and transformative potential.
Dr. Andreas Meryk
Guest Editor
