Biologics

Biologics: Targets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focused on the pathophysiological rationale for and clinical application of biologic agents and biosimilars in autoimmune diseases, cancers, and other pathologies with identifiable molecular targets. Topics include gene therapy, cell therapy, antibody-based therapy, blood components, vaccines, hormones, cytokines and growth factors, toxins, and peptides. The journal publishes original research, reviews, basic science, clinical studies, and commentaries, does not accept study protocols, no longer considers meta-analyses, and considers case reports only when they make a valuable and original contribution to the literature.
