International Journal of Cytokine

Aims and Scope

International Journal of Cytokine (IJCY) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal focused on advancing the understanding of cytokine biology and its implications in health and disease. Cytokines are vital regulators of immune responses, inflammation, and tissue homeostasis, playing a critical role in a variety of biological processes. The journal seeks to foster collaboration between basic researchers, clinicians, and therapeutic developers by publishing high-quality research, reviews, and clinical studies. IJCY covers a wide range of topics, from cytokine regulation and their roles in immunity and inflammation to their potential as therapeutic targets in diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infections.

Scope & Focus Areas:

• Biochemistry, Genetics, and Regulation of Cytokines: Exploration of the molecular mechanisms governing cytokine production and regulation.
• Role of Cytokines in Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer: Investigating how cytokines mediate immune responses, inflammation, and their implications in cancer progression.
• Cytokines in Diagnosis and Therapy: Application of cytokines as biomarkers for diagnosis and as potential therapeutic agents.
• Development of Cytokine-Based Therapeutics: Innovations in designing and developing cytokine-targeted therapies for various diseases.
• Impact of Cytokines on Human Health and Disease: Understanding the pivotal role of cytokines in both health maintenance and disease pathogenesis.
• Effects of Environmental Factors on Cytokine Expression: Research on how environmental changes, such as infections or pollutants, influence cytokine production and function.
• Artificial intelligence driven submissions focused on using machine learning and computational models to analyze cytokine behavior, immune responses, and related therapeutic strategies.
• Role of Cytokines in Aging and Age-Related Diseases: Investigating the contribution of cytokines to the aging process and the development of age-related diseases.
