Special Issue Information
Cell and immunotherapy seem to be a promising therapeutic approach for diabetes with increasing clinical application. Very similar to type 1 diabetes where the immune system is very much involved in the disease pathogenesis, a growing body of evidence suggests the immune system has a role (especially innate) in triggering/sustaining generalized inflammation in type 2 diabetes. This Special Issue of Biomolecules will highlight original research and reviews on advances in cell and immunotherapeutic approaches in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Specific topics may include, but are not limited to, immunomodulation, antigen-specific, anti-inflammatory, regulatory T cells, extracellular and stem cell-based therapies for diabetes. Moreover, manuscripts highlighting advanced methods or approaches on preclinical and clinical transplantation and immunotherapeutic studies in the field 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. Biomolecules 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 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.
