Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation and cancer immunity are intricately interconnected through a complex array of molecular pathways that regulate immune activation, suppression, and tissue homeostasis. Understanding these processes has become increasingly important for developing new approaches to managing chronic inflammatory diseases and maximizing the efficacy of immunotherapies in cancer. This Special Issue, “Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets in Inflammation and Cancer Immunity,” aims to highlight recent progress in elucidating the molecular basis of immune regulation, inflammatory signaling, and tumor immune evasion. Topics include cytokine and chemokine networks, immune checkpoint modulation, antibody-based therapeutics, drug repositioning, and cellular or molecular mechanisms underlying immune tolerance. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and short communications focusing on the mechanistic and translational aspects of inflammation, immune regulation, and cancer immunology.

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.
