Journal: Journal of Innate Immunity
Submission Deadline: December 31, 2024
This article collection of the Journal of Innate Immunity is dedicated to unraveling the multifaceted interactions between biofilms and innate immunity. Our primary aim is to showcase innovative research investigating the impact of biofilm formation on host immune responses and the intricate strategies employed by pathogens within these structured microbial communities. We welcome submissions exploring the immunological challenges posed by biofilms in various contexts, such as chronic infections, medical devices, and human or animal niches. This collection seeks to bridge the gap between microbiology and immunology, fostering a comprehensive understanding of how biofilms influence innate immune mechanisms. Contributions elucidating novel therapeutic approaches targeting biofilm-associated immune evasion are particularly encouraged. Through this curated collection, we strive to advance knowledge in the field, ultimately informing strategies for the development of more effective interventions against biofilm-related diseases.
