Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microenvironment-based immune changes always happen in all types of diseases, such as cancer or metabolic diseases. These changes include not only subtypes of the immune cells but also their cellular or molecular functions. With the development of cutting-edge technologies such as RNA sequencing, CITE-seq, or ATAC-seq, tracking immune changes following the development of diseases becomes reliable, which is beneficial for the development of efficient treatments, such as immunotherapy in cancer. We invite all scientists working in the immunology field to participate in this Special Issue. Original research articles, reviews, or shorter perspective articles on all aspects related to immune changes in the microenvironment revealed by RNA sequencing are welcome, including topics such as immune cell constituent changes or molecular and cellular functional changes.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
