Digestion & Immunity is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to explore the complex interactions between the digestive system and immune responses. Our mission is to provide a platform for high-quality research that addresses the molecular, cellular, and clinical aspects of digestion, immunity, and gastrointestinal health. We seek to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration that drives the translation of basic science into clinical applications for treating gastrointestinal diseases and immune disorders.
We welcome submissions across a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
Gastrointestinal Immunology and Mucosal Immunity
Research focused on the immune mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract, including the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), mucosal immunity, and the role of the gut microbiome in regulating immune responses.
Gastrointestinal Diseases and Disorders
Investigations into the pathogenesis, immune dysregulation, and treatment of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal infections, and autoimmune disorders.
Gut-Brain and Gut-Liver Axes
Studies on the interactions between the gut and other systems, such as the brain and liver, and their impact on immunity and gastrointestinal health.
Therapeutic Strategies and Immunomodulation
Advances in immunotherapies, including the use of probiotics, prebiotics, biologics, and immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases and improving gut immunity.
Diet, Microbiome, and Immune Health
Exploring the impact of diet, environmental factors, and gut microbiota on gastrointestinal health, immune responses, and disease susceptibility.
Digestion & Immunity invites contributions from a diverse range of disciplines, including gastroenterology, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, and clinical medicine. We encourage original research articles, reviews, clinical studies, and opinion pieces that advance the understanding of digestion, immunity, and gastrointestinal health.
