Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce to you the new Special Issue of the Molecular Immunology Section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences entitled "From Macrophage Biology to Cell and EV-Based Immunotherapies", which focuses on macrophage-based and macrophage-targeting immunotherapies in cancer, autoimmunity, allergies and other inflammatory conditions.
Increasing knowledge of macrophage heterogeneity has recently led researchers and clinicians to explore their yet unknown roles in cancer, allergic, hypersensitivity and autoimmune reactions. Moreover, uncovering the strategies of regulating/modulating macrophage-mediated processes will greatly facilitate current progress in the development of targeted therapies, including those based on cellular products and extracellular vesicles (EVs).
For over a hundred years, macrophages have received special attention due to their involvement in almost all physiological biological processes. Their disruption leads to pathological inflammatory reactions that dysregulate the functioning of all body systems. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present the current advances in our understanding of both experimental and clinical aspects of macrophage involvement not only in allergies, hypersensitivities and autoimmunity, but also in inflammation-related conditions, including hypertension and depressive disorder.
We cordially invite all interested researchers to submit their original and review articles covering relevant, basic research and clinical findings so that the Special Issue entitled "From Macrophage Biology to Cell and EV-Based Immunotherapies" can become a platform for sharing experiences between researchers and clinicians.
Please accept our sincerest thanks in advance for participating in this publishing opportunity.

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.
