The intricate regulation of the immune system, maintaining equilibrium between pathogen defense and self-tolerance, is fundamental to health. Disruptions in this delicate balance underlie a vast spectrum of human diseases, extending beyond oncology to encompass autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory conditions, infectious diseases, allergies, and hypertension. While traditional therapies often rely on broad immunosuppression or direct pathogen eradication, the rapidly evolving field of immunomodulation offers a nuanced alternative: precisely calibrating immune responses to restore homeostasis or achieve targeted defense. This special issue comprises 12 review articles contributed by 57 international researchers, synthesizing key advances and emerging strategies for harnessing immunomodulation across diverse therapeutic applications.

Cell-mediated Immune Responses
Inflammatory Response
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
Cytotoxic T Cells-mediated Immune Response
Immunological surveillance is the ability of immune cells to monitor and eliminate infected cells with intracellular pathogens, neoplastically transformed cells, and cells with non-self antigens. Cytotoxic T cells and NK...
