摘要
Five years ago,we launched a special issue in the Cellular&Molecular Immunology with a focus on basic liver immunology,which included eight review articles covering the knowledge about immunological features of the liver.1 To date,these articles have been cited more than 1200 times according to the Google Scholar.Over the past 5 years,enormous progress has been made in the understanding of liver immunology and the identification of various therapeutic strategies targeting inflammatory mediators for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.Therefore,we are honored and excited to present another follow-up special issue to discuss the updated knowledge of translational liver immunology and the therapeutic targets based on the knowledge we learned from the studies of liver immunology.
