Description
Summary:The integration of platforms such as genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics has been acknowledged as a promising strategy for the in-depth characterization of complex cell systems and/or diseases. These omics platforms are now also helping us understand human immunity better. The immune system is a highly sophisticated network that maintains tissue homeostasis throughout the body. Thus, any disturbance in the immune system directly impacts diseases or indirectly drives malignant cell development. In this Research Topic, six manuscripts aim to describe the immune system by integrating different omics approaches, investigating the immunity functioning and its involvement in disease or the efficacy of therapeutical drug responses.
