Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cytokines are produced by the host immune system for the control of microbial pathogens. They are involved in cell proliferation, survival, apoptosis, differentiation, and activation. However, their dysregulation can lead to undesired pathogenic inflammation and/or autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, uveitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. This is achieved by activating various cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and immune cells, through different signalling pathways. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of these cells by cytokines is important. This Special Issue aims to define the specific pathways that are influenced by cytokines during inflammation, as well as develop new therapeutics to more effectively target proinflammatory diseases.

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.
