Journal of Leukocyte Biology

JLB is a peer-reviewed, academic journal published by the Society for Leukocyte Biology for its members and the community of immunobiologists. The journal publishes papers devoted to the exploration of the cellular and molecular biology of granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, lymphocytes, NK cells, and other cells involved in host physiology and defense/resistance against disease. Since all cells in the body can directly or indirectly contribute to the maintenance of the integrity of the organism and restoration of homeostasis through repair, JLB also considers articles involving epithelial, endothelial, fibroblastic, neural, and other somatic cell types participating in host defense. Studies covering pathophysiology, cell development, differentiation and trafficking; fundamental, translational and clinical immunology, inflammation, extracellular mediators and effector molecules; receptors, signal transduction and genes are considered relevant. Research articles and reviews that provide a novel understanding in any of these fields are given priority as well as technical advances related to leukocyte research methods.

Journal of Leukocyte Biology（JLB）是由白细胞生物学会（Society for Leukocyte Biology）出版的一份经过同行评审的学术期刊，主要面向其会员和免疫生物学家。该期刊发表的论文集中探讨了粒细胞、单核吞噬细胞、淋巴细胞、自然杀伤（NK）细胞以及其他在宿主防御生理和疾病中起作用的细胞的细胞和分子生物学。考虑到人体内所有细胞在维持机体完整性和恢复平衡状态中的作用，《日刊医学杂志》也接受关于上皮细胞、内皮细胞、成纤维细胞、神经细胞等参与宿主防御的体细胞类型的文章。研究内容覆盖病理生理学、细胞发育、分化和贩运；基础、转化和临床免疫学；炎症；细胞外介质和效应分子；受体、信号转导和基因。JLB特别优先考虑那些为上述领域带来新认识的研究文章和评论，以及与白细胞研究方法学有关的技术进展。
