Emerging Talents in: Cytokines and Soluble Mediators in Immunity 2025/2026

Here we present the Frontiers in Immunology ‘Emerging Talents in: Cytokines and Soluble Mediators in Immunity 2025/2026'. A series dedicated to highlighting the emerging talent of student researchers within the field of Cytokines and Soluble Mediators in Immunity. Across the world students are undertaking key research as part of their education in Cytokines and Soluble Mediators in Immunity, however, most of this research is not communicated to the wider audience. We recognise that this is because many student researchers find the thought of peer-review daunting. At Frontiers, peer-review is considered a collaborative process and our interactive peer-review is tailored to provide hands-on guidance and constructive feedback to researchers. Our Topic Editors are committed to the development of emerging talents and want to see student researchers strive for success at publications. The research presented here highlights the quality and diversity of student researchers across the field of Cytokines and Soluble Mediators in Immunity. We welcome contributions in the form of original research, review, mini review, case report, hypothesis and theory, perspective, both experimental and computational studies that cover, but are not limited to, following themes:1. Regulation of Cytokine and Chemokine Networks in Health and Disease2. Emerging Roles of Soluble Mediators in Immunopathology and Autoimmunity3. Therapeutic Targeting and Modulation of Soluble Mediators4. Advances in Cytokine and Chemokine Detection, Quantification, and Functional AssaysThis Research Topic will help to identify emerging leaders and allow the community to follow the aspiring careers of our emerging, talented researchers. #EmergingTalentsInCytokinesAndSolubleMediatorsPlease note: To be considered for this collection, the first and/or collaborating first, or second author will be a registered undergraduate or graduate student at time of submission.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 the mission statement. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
