Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue, “Macrophages in Human Diseases and Their Treatment”. Macrophages (Mφs) have a fundamental role in the regulation of tissue homeostasis and inflammation. They are critically involved in processes that could lead to disease progression or its resolution. Modulation of Mφ functions and their plasticity could be used as a direct target for injury prevention, treatment and reparatory responses, both in acute and chronic disorders.
The main scope of this issue is to highlight the current state of knowledge surrounding molecular mechanisms by which Mφs function in health and disease, modulate other cells, interact with the environment, cause tissue damage or orchestrate tissue repair.
We are welcoming original research and recent review papers. Generally, pure clinical research or model studies, survey studies and correlation research are out of the scope of IJMS. However, clinical or model submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcome here.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Mirjana Jerkic and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Razieh Rabani (University of Toronto).
Dr. Mirjana Jerkić
Guest Editor

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.
