Special Issue on
Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors: Roles in
Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues
CALL FOR PAPERS
Chemokines and chemokine receptors are able to control the migration and
residence of all immune cells. Some chemokines are considered proinflammatory
and can be induced during an immune response at a site of infection, while others
are considered homeostatic and are involved in controlling the migration of cells
during tissue development or maintenance.

Nowadays approximately 50 endogenous chemokines ligands and 20 G-proteincoupled receptors have been described. However, there is still a lot to be comprehended in this field, particularly regarding mechanisms during development of
tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. The aim of this issue is to highlight
the state of the art knowledge about chemokines and their receptors and described
roles beyond cell migration.
