The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. (15) Computational methods including statistical and mathematical methods and computational models for analysis, visualization, and interpretation of results. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods, but these manuscripts are by invitation only.

Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine

ISSN: 2468-4988

As the name implies, the Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine provides a forum for the publication of research in the fields of either immunology or regenerative medicine. Although the submission of manuscripts focussed specifically on either field is welcomed, the journal has a particular interest in the overlap between the two disciplines. Consequently, we strongly encourage the submission of research that explores the essential role played by the immune system in tissue and organ development, maintenance, response to environmental stressors, response to injury and in the processes of tissue repair and regeneration. The field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TE/RM) has only recently recognized the potential benefits of modulating or instructing the immune system, rather than suppressing the immune response, as a viable strategy for promoting tissue reconstruction and improving functional outcomes. Biomaterials, both synthetic and naturally-occurring, play an important role in TE/RM strategies. Therefore, it is only logical that the immune response to biomaterials is a critical consideration with respect to clinical outcomes. Similarly, the immunology community has only recently recognized the potential benefits of cross-disciplinary interactions between biomaterials and stem cell scientists who target regenerative medicine applications and clinical translation. The immunomodulatory effects of various stem and tissue progenitor cells, signaling molecules derived from extracellular matrix, and the essential contribution of regulatory macrophages, T-cells, and other immune cells in functional tissue restoration and maintenance has also taken center stage. These newly recognized targets of research and development provide exciting opportunities for immunologists, regenerative medicine scientists, biomaterial and stem cell scientists and clinicians alike. The Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine provides a venue for publication of this research. The journal will accept basic and applied research manuscripts, selected review articles, clinical study reports, and short communications for peer review and publication. We also publish invited commentaries on selected papers published in the journal. The Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine aims to support conferences and symposia on topics within its remit through the publication of meeting reports. The Editors would, therefore, welcome suggestions from event organisers who would like to submit a meeting report in order to increase the impact of their conference through the dissemination of research findings and discussion to a broader audience. Scope of Subject Matter: The Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine invites manuscripts in the following areas, although the list is not intended to be exclusive and should be considered merely as a guide. We would welcome authors of research in subjects areas not directly listed to contact the Editors to discuss the relevance of their proposed manuscript to the journal.

Journal of Translational Autoimmunity

ISSN: 2589-9090
5 Year impact factor: 3.9
Impact factor: 3.9

The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity is a peer-reviewed open access journal that primarily aims to disseminate bench-to-bedside research in autoimmunity. It is a spin-off from the Journal of Autoimmunity, which publishes papers related to the diverse aspects of autoimmunity. The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity considers submissions transferred from the Journal of Autoimmunity as well as direct submissions. The immune system is becoming part of a growing number of other disciplines, so research in the development of autoimmune disease is increasingly important across disciplines. Translational research links basic science with clinical application, showing how the excellent work done in basic science research laboratories around the world is relevant in real life. The Journal of Translational Autoimmunity welcomes translational research on the many autoimmune diseases, including (but not limited to): Lupus Psoriasis Sjogren's syndrome Autoimmune hepatitis Type 1 diabetes Autoimmune cytopenias The ultimate goal of the journal is to provide readers with relevant information to understand the underlying pathogenesis of this group of common disorders. Authors can submit in various formats, including original research, systematic reviews, letters to the editor, brief communications and case studies or case cohorts. All submitted manuscripts undergo rigorous peer review by experts in the field. Benefits to authors We provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Read more about our author services.

Life Sciences

ISSN: 0024-3205
5 Year impact factor: 5.8
Impact factor: 6.1

Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed. The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams. Manuscripts should present novel preclinical findings addressing questions of biological significance to human disease. Studies that fail to do so may be rejected without review. Quantitative conclusions must be based on truly quantitative methods. Life Sciences does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts of unknown chemical composition. Compounds studied must be of known chemical structure and concentration. The study must be reproducible; materials used must be available to other researchers so they can repeat the experiment. Clinical studies may be considered if they expand understanding of mechanism, but the journal does not encourage clinical trial reports. Four common reasons for rejection include: out of scope (the manuscript does not conform to the goal of identification of mechanisms related to therapy for human disease); too preliminary (manuscript is based on a limited amount of experimental data diminishing significance); lack of novelty (manuscript is well done but does not address a significant question); unidentified structure (actions of biological extracts of unknown chemical composition).
