Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammation is a complex and necessary component of the body’s response to pathological conditions, such as infections, burns, stress, trauma, or immunologic reactions. Inflammation has been linked to numerous diseases, including arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and cancer, as well as to conditions associated with aging. The inflammatory response involves the release of various inflammatory markers. The evaluation of biomarkers such as cytokines, growth factors, oxidative markers, and other molecular markers allows us to understand the progression of various disorders and tissue repair processes. Monitoring the levels of inflammatory markers in body fluids may be useful for diagnosing inflammation, as well as for monitoring disease treatment. The most frequently used inflammatory markers include acute-phase proteins and cytokines, predominantly TNF-α, interleukins 1β, 6, 8, 10, and 12, their receptors, and IFNγ. However, new markers of the inflammatory response and tissue damage that can provide valuable information about various pathological conditions are still being sought.
In this Special Issue, all articles, including original papers, reviews, and other forms of scientific communication that present valuable observations concerning common and novel markers of inflammation and tissue damage in various pathological conditions, are welcome.

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. Life 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
