Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cytokines are essential signaling molecules involved in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Cytokines influence the survival, proliferation, differentiation, and functional activity of the immune system, as well as of a variety of cells in other organs. Accordingly, cytokine deregulation is involved in the pathogenesis of a wide range of immune-mediated diseases, from cancer to autoimmune conditions. Moreover, we must deepen our understanding of discrete molecular mechanisms controlled by the cytokine network to develop new cytokine-targeting therapies for immune-mediated diseases.
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue "Cytokines: from Cancer to Autoimmunity”, which aims to provide a platform for the latest research clarifying the molecular mechanisms of cytokine disbalances in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Original articles and reviews on molecular and cell biology, genetics and epigenetics, biochemistry, immunology, signal transduction and related fields focusing on the regulation of cytokine production and cytokine-mediated biological events are welcome.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
