Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, cancer immunotherapy has undergone a revolutionary transformation, demonstrating significant clinical potential in modulating immune responses against cancer. This breakthrough offers new hope for the eventual cure of cancer. However, the current response rates among patients undergoing immunotherapies remain suboptimal, highlighting the imperative need to substantially enhance clinical benefits.
The tumor immunological microenvironment plays a pivotal role in shaping the tumor-immune response, and a deeper comprehension of this intricate landscape holds the promise of discovering novel approaches to augment existing immunotherapies.
In this Special Issue, we aim to delve into recent advancements in the field of tumor immunological microenvironment research. The topics under discussion will encompass, but are not limited to:
- The specific roles of tumor cells, immune cells and stromal cells in shaping the tumor immunological microenvironment;
- The identification of tumor microenvironment biomarkers capable of predicting responses to immunotherapy;
- The exploration of innovative animal models and cutting-edge technologies in tumor immunological microenvironment research;
- Strategies designed to transform the tumor immunological microenvironment from a "cold" state to a "hot" one, rendering it more responsive to immunotherapeutic interventions.
We invite researchers, scientists and clinicians to contribute their insights, studies and findings to this Special Issue.
Best regards,
Dr. Yue Sun
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
