Journal scope
Immunology is a diverse and growing discipline that can be defined as the study of the tissues, cells and molecules involved in host defence mechanisms. Immunologists attempt to understand how the immune system develops, how the body defends itself against disease, and what happens when it all goes wrong. Nature Reviews Immunology will provide in-depth coverage of immunology, from fundamental mechanisms to applied aspects. In addition to review articles, it will highlight recent developments and exciting new primary papers, as well as reflecting on the people, papers and events that have influenced the development of immunology.
