Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few years it has become evident that immune cell signaling regulates the energy metabolism of adaptive as well as innate immune cells. In T cells, antigen recognition by the T-cell receptor (TCR) results in the activation of different transcription factors regulating the expression of genes encoding for key metabolic enzymes. Similarly, signaling via non-adaptive sensing receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) stimulate metabolic reprogramming in innate immune cells. It has also become evident that the energy metabolism affects several immune cell functions and hence, it plays an essential role in the regulation of immune responses. Thus, the better understanding of how signaling processes regulate metabolic pathways in adaptive and innate immune cells will provide new avenues for the development of new therapeutic approaches to modulate immune responses and to ameliorate inflammatory diseases.
The Special Issue “Immune Cell Signaling and Immune Metabolism in Inflammatory Processes” welcomes original research and review articles with a particular focus on the interconnection of immune cell signaling and immunometabolism during inflammation.

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.
