Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few years, research on pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines has tremendously furthered our understanding in the field of biology on a molecular level with disease progression. The balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines contributes to homeostasis and maintenance of well-being. This has led to the potential new therapies, providing prophylactic or mitigative benefits to the treatment of complicated diseases. For example, using exosomes packed with cytokine(s) to correct certain metabolic problems or organ dysfunction has been published. A great deal of this progress is due to efforts that bridge across disciplines including molecular biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical medicine. The focus of this Special Issue is to bring together the most recent developments and state-of-the-art research studies to understand the molecular interaction between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and develop advanced prophylactics, mitigators, and therapies by managing the crosstalk of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and other article types are all welcome.
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Cell-based therapy;
- Nanomedicine;
- Drug development and mechanisms of drug action;
- Innate and acquired immunity;
- Microbe–host response.

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.
