Immune cells are mainly in peripheral blood and immune organs or tissues. During inflammation and infections, immune cells will recruit to the inflammation or infection sites. The recruitment of leukocytes includes many processes, such as the rolling and adhesion of circulating leukocytes to endothelial cells lining the blood vessel's inner wall, the transmigration from the vessel's inner wall to the tissue surrounding vessels, and migration and swarming in the tissues. These processes are critical for immune responses and the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases and infections. Multiple in vitro models, in vivo models, and monitoring techniques, such as advanced microscopy, have been established to study immune cell recruitment.
This research topic is aimed at providing researchers with an exclusive platform to publish their latest discoveries in immune cell adhesion, migration and tracking in healthy conditions and different infectious or non-infectious diseases, in addition to discussing the concerns and advances in the field through reviews, brief research reports, and opinion articles.
Areas to be covered may include:
1. New immune cell adhesion, migration, and trafficking behaviors in healthy condition and different infectious or non-infectious diseases.
2. Molecular mechanisms of immune cell adhesion, migration, and trafficking.
3. Drugs targeting immune cell adhesion, migration, and trafficking.
4. Live cell imaging, intravital imaging, or new imaging techniques for immune cell adhesion, migration, and trafficking.
