Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cytokines represent a paradigm in cell-cell communication and play particularly important roles in cells within the immune system. These proteins are able to transmit signals via their respective receptors into specific immune cell populations to influence key processes, including development, survival and function. Such signals must be finely balanced to maintain a healthy immune system. Disruption of this balance underpins a number of disorders, ranging from immune deficiency to inflammation and autoimmunity to leukemia, lymphoma and other malignancies. This Special Issue will publish studies that highlight the pivotal role played by cytokine signals in normal immunity and their disruption in immune-related diseases

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
