Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complex interplay between viral pathogens and host immune responses remains a central focus in biomedical research. Advances in molecular biology techniques, such as single-cell analysis, transcriptomics, and proteomics, have paved the way for systems immunology studies. These have greatly enhanced our understanding of host-pathogen interactions at the molecular level, uncovering the intricate mechanisms that govern both viral infection and host immunity.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, titled “Molecular Research on Viral Infection and Host Immunity”, aims to compile cutting-edge research that utilizes these high-throughput technologies for unprecedented insights into viral infections and host immunity.
We invite submissions of both original research and review articles, focusing on topics such as:
- Systems Immunology in viral infections
- Molecular insights into host-pathogen interactions
- Transcriptomic and proteomic studies in viral disease
- Mechanisms of host immune responses to viruses
Our goal is to gather the latest advancements in this critical field, thereby paving the way for future research and therapeutic strategies.
Dr. Helder I. Nakaya

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.
