Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, our knowledge regarding the role of inflammation and immune response during and after infectious diseases has improved. For instance, let us refer to sepsis definition and pathogenesis, or to the COVID-19 emergency. But inflammation and immune response during and after infectious diseases can also lead to serious consequences, such as cancers, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases.
With this Special Issue, we aim to provide new insights into immune response and inflammation, and especially persistent inflammation, in infectious diseases. Moreover, we aim to shed light on the immune response mechanisms which might help in developing new treatment strategies.
Original and review articles, including basic studies, are all welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue. Research topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms governing the immune response to microorganisms;
- Molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in persisting symptoms after the resolution of infection (i.e., long COVID-19);
- Therapeutic application of molecular and cellular patterns.
