Immunological Disruptions and Interventions

About Browse

The immune system protects humans against infection through innate, adaptive and passive immunity. Whilst one can somewhat improve and maintain high levels of immunity across their lifespan through natural habits such as consuming a healthy diet, being physically active and getting sufficient levels of sleep, it remains possible for allergies, infections and disorders to disrupt the immune system and subsequently impact human function. To treat and prevent disruptions to the human immune system, vaccines, nutritional interventions and many other processes have been implemented for those who require immunity support.

The scope of the collection includes but is not limited to:

  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Allergy diagnosis and treatment
  • Gut immunity and immunometabolism
  • Microbiota-Immunity axis: role and interventions
  • Vaccines
  • Immunological tolerance
  • Allele engineering
  • Type 2 immunity


Immunology researchers with a focus on cancer are encouraged to submit their articles via the collection dedicated to cancer (here).
