Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of new techniques, our understanding of classical immunology is significantly increasing. The role of immune cells during the protection of mucosal surfaces is better understood; however, these novel findings also pose a challenge as they unravel the complexity of networks that orchestrate immune responses. The role of microbiota, non-classical immune cells, innate lymphoid cells, MAIT cells, and others is just starting to be understood. In this Special Issue we want to provide a forum where researchers can publish their latest work on mucosal immunology and bacterial mechanisms that suppress mucosal immune responses. A multidisciplinary, global view of pathogen–host interaction in mucosal immunology can offer novel avenues to vaccine and therapeutic development.

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.
