About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we focus on understanding of the link between viral infection, tumor development and host immune response. The aim is to collect original research on cellular and molecular mechanism for viral infection-induced diseases with particular interest in host immune response and tumorigenesis as well as original studies related to biomedical applications including accurate diagnosis, precise prevention, and precise treatment.
We welcome the submission of original research papers, as well as reviews, research reports or specific comments on recently published articles including but not limited to:
• Preclinical research that furthers our understanding of the mechanisms underlying viruses stimulate or evade immune response, and microbe infection in tumorigenesis as well as molecular mechanisms of drug resistance.
• Translational research by focusing on identification of new drugs and new approaches for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for infectious diseases and cancer.
• Clinical studies informing diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine prevention for viral infection and the related cancer diseases.
Keywords: viral infection, inflammation, cancer, immune response, precise prevention and precise treatment
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements.
