About this Research Topic
The global health landscape is significantly challenged by microbial infections, including those caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, which impact millions of lives each year. Despite advancements in medical science, it is essential to comprehend the intricate mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis to develop effective treatments. This research topic aims to investigate the complex nature of microbial infections, exploring the detailed interactions between pathogens and host immune responses, and uncovering novel pathways of infection and resistance. By integrating cutting-edge research and clinical findings, this initiative seeks to bridge basic science with practical applications, thereby advancing innovative treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes worldwide.
This research will provide a comprehensive overview of microbial infection dynamics and immune response mechanisms, encompassing drug discovery efforts and the intricate role of complement system in infection pathogenesis. It invites submissions of original research articles, reviews, methodologies, protocols and perspectives that analyze the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, novel therapeutic targets, and immune responses. These submissions are particularly welcome.
We propose to explore the theme of Advancements in Pathogen Research and Immune Response:
• This topic will delve into the ongoing, demanding efforts to decode the complex interplay between pathogens and host’s immune system.
• It will also cover Innovative strategies in antimicrobial drug discovery, focusing on recent breakthroughs in drug discovery.
• Advancements in immunotherapy, highlighting the host immune response, which plays a central role in defending against microbial threats by orchestrating an effective strategy that neutralizes pathogens while reducing tissue damage.
We seek to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, aiming to hasten the development of innovative therapeutic strategies against microbial infections.
