Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of immunological tolerance and the induction of autoimmune diseases has started focusing on the role of the adaptative immune response and how the failure of central and peripheral tolerance could induce autoimmunity. In the last decade, increasing attention has been paid to the ways in which innate immunity and the cellular participants in inflammation might be implicated in these diseases. Therefore, several new autoinflammatory diseases have been described using the genetic data associated with functional consequences. Through the study of the genetic, phenotypic, metabolic and functional mechanisms involved in these immune-mediated diseases, novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been developed. Furthermore, there is continuum with no clear border between autoinflammatory and autoimmune disease. This Special Issue specifically welcomes the submission of studies that focus on the basic mechanisms underlying the production of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, in addition to translational studies.

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.
