Immunity is the state of being protected from disease or illness and includes the ability to ward off both external and internal attacks.It encompasses defense against pathogens or infectious agents as well as the prevention of autoimmune diseases and tumor growth.Diverse life forms from plants to animals and humans have evolved intricate and elaborate immunological mechanisms.These provide either inherent or acquired protection against a variety of infectious agents, promote tolerance to self-antigens and perform immunosurveillance leading to clearance of abnormal cells.The immune system, thus, is vital for survival and well-being of all living organisms.From understanding the components of the immune system to gaining insights into complex immunoregulatory mechanisms, immunological research continues to extend the knowledge of not just the human immune system and response but also that of animals and plants.While understanding the plant and animal immune system is important for disease resistance strategies to help, for instance, global food demand and security, deciphering the intricacies of the human immune system is needed to generate novel solutions against public health problems.Further, the immune system of the microbial systems forms the basis of the molecular biology by giving us restriction enzymes and CRISPR-Cas systems as molecular tools.The Journal, thus, aims to be a platform to capture developments and advancements around human, animal, plant, and microbial immunology and present them for reading to anyone who is interested.So, we welcome you all to Discover Immunity, launched in February 2024, as part of the Discover series within the Springer Nature brand.A fully open access, peer-reviewed journal that supports sound research and policy developments across the multidisciplinary fields relevant to human, animal, plant and microbial immunology.Being a broad scope journal, it aims to be a resource for researchers, policy makers and the general public for recent advances in the field of immunology, and its applications in research and development for societal progress.Further, as a fully open access journal, we ensure our research is highly discoverable and instantly available globally to everyone.We aim to help good research find a home for publication.The following section will help you understand the topics welcomed at Discover Immunity.
