Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews
Cytokine & Growth Factor Reviews publishes focused research reviews (state-of-the-art reviews, correspondence, perspectives, meeting reviews) devoted to important advances in fields of cytokine and growth factor research. Major emphasis will be placed on reviews that detail molecular mechanistic analysis of diverse areas of biomedical research, including cytokine regulation of immune responses, innate immunity, viral pathogenesis, inflammatory disorders including neuroinflammation, growth regulation in cancer, cytokines in the tumor microenvironment and cytokine-guided immunotherapeutic strategies. Priority will be given to those reviews with a focused expert perspective, provided by scientific leaders in their respective areas of research. Broad literature reviews with an overview perspective rather than a research focus should consider other Elsevier venues.- ISSN: 1359-6101

The journal publishes narrative reviews, systematic reviews and editorials covering area of controversy and debate, as well as areas of future research.- ISSN: 1087-0792
Molecular Immunology
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunologyMechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunityIntercellula... communication, cooperation and regulationIntracellu... mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune systemStructural analysisDevelopment of the immune systemComparative immunology and evolution of the immune system"Omics" studies and bioinformaticsVaccin... biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)Technical developmentsArticles based primarily on studies in silico must adhere to the following principles; (i) The article must report novel analytical tools, approaches and/or databases rather than using publicly available ones; or (ii) The article must include substantial experimental validation of the conclusions obtained in silico.Manuscripts related to regulatory RNA (e.g. microRNAs, lncRNAs or circRNAs) are welcome but please note: (i) they must show clear physiological relevance supported by in vivo results or clinical observations; (ii) Correlations between regulatory RNA expression with human diseases should be experimentally validated; (iii) Functions associated with the regulatory RNAs must within the scope of the journal i.e. inflammation and/or immune responses.To be acceptable for publication, studies that describe correlations between disease and genetic polymorphisms would normally be required to include novel mechanistic findings underlying the associations.Clinica... studies correlating disease and measurements of a molecule or cell type would likewise not be suitable for publication without novel mechanistic insights.Studies describing pharmacological agents are welcome if they provide significant novelty on the mechanisms of action.- ISSN: 0161-5890
Domestic Animal Endocrinology
