About the Journal

Central European Journal of Immunology (CEJI) is an official journal of the Polish Society of Experimental and Clinical Immunology. The journal was established to serve as a platform for the dissemination of high-quality research and advancements in the field of basic and clinical immunology. The journal seeks to facilitate the exchange of knowledge among researchers, clinicians, and academics worldwide, fostering collaboration and innovation in understanding the immune system and its interactions with pathogens, involvement in the development and progression of diseases, as well as the development of new therapeutics. Central European Journal of Immunology prioritizes fair and rapid review processes, leading to prompt publication.

Central European Journal of Immunology publishes original research, letters (short communications), reviews of literature, comments, news in immunology (junior scientists’ corner), and case reports that contribute to advancing our understanding of the immune system and its role in health and disease. The journal encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and encourages submissions from researchers across diverse fields, including immunology, microbiology, genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, and clinical medicine.

Central European Journal of Immunology covers a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to:

1. Immunological Mechanisms: Investigations into the cellular and molecular mechanisms, including innate and adaptive immunity, immunological memory, antigen presentation, immune cell communication, and control of immune cell function.

2. Immune System Development and Regulation: Studies exploring the development, maturation, and regulation of the immune system in health and disease, including the role of cytokines, chemokines, and other signaling molecules.

3. Host-Pathogen Interactions: Research elucidating the interactions between the immune system and pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, with a focus on understanding pathogen evasion strategies and host defense mechanisms.

4. Clinical Immunology: Investigations into the immunological basis of diseases, autoimmune disorders, allergies, immune deficiencies, and cancer, among others, aim to uncover novel therapeutic targets and treatment strategies.

5. Immunomodulation and Therapeutics: Studies on immunomodulatory agents, vaccines, immunotherapies, and treatment approaches targeting immune-related disorders, including cancer immunotherapy, allergen-specific immunotherapy, and transplantation immunology.

6. Immune System in Health and Aging: Research assessing the impact of aging, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences on immune function and susceptibility to diseases, with implications for personalized medicine and public health interventions.

7. Translational Immunology: Translational research bridges the gap between basic immunology discoveries and clinical applications, with a focus on advancing diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics for immune-mediated disorders.

8. New Methods and Assays: Innovations in immunological techniques and significant modification of existing tools and computational approaches, including high-throughput methods, single-cell analysis, omics technologies, and bioinformatics, driving progress in immunology research.

9. Comparative Immunology: Comparative studies exploring the immune systems of different species, including vertebrates and invertebrates, to understand evolutionary aspects, immune system diversity, and adaptation to diverse environmental challenges.
