Biomedical & Life Sciences content and resources

Breakthroughs in Biomedical & Life Sciences often involve combining many disciplines for a single purpose. Perhaps the most topical of these disciplines recently being Immunology. The coronavirus pandemic has shone a light on Immunology as a whole, as the general public grappled with complex scientific concepts and scientists moved at record speed. All with the aim of developing a better understanding of the structures and processes which serve to protect the body from infectious diseases.

Looking ahead, research in Immunology will remain critical to understanding the emergence and evolution of new diseases, as well as to unlocking the mysteries of current ones.

Our portfolio enables students and scientists to access the most relevant published Biomedical and Life Sciences studies. Explore now key content and resources for your library and discover how we are leading the way in supporting Immunology research.

A glimpse into the future of immunization research

Immunization programmes save millions of lives from preventable diseases each year. It is estimated that, thanks to accelerated development and approvals, recently developed COVID-19 vaccines, have saved at least 750,000 lives from SARS-CoV-2 in the United States and Europe alone.

In support of World Immunization Week, Springer Nature has taken a closer look at trends in publications on vaccination research and related topics — such as widespread diseases and mRNA — between 2017 and 2021. Topics include the number of papers published, the percentage available via open access, the number of clinical trials conducted and the extent of funding. Based on this data, projections for these parameters have been made up to 2024. The hope is that with increased interest in and funding for vaccination-related research, and improved immunization coverage globally, that many currently fatal diseases will have far less of an impact in the future.

Nature Portfolio highlighted journals

Nature Immunology

Nature Immunology is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes papers of the highest quality and significance in all areas of immunology. Areas covered include, but are not limited to: innate immunity and inflammation; development; immune receptors, signaling and apoptosis; antigen presentation; gene regulation and recombination; cellular and systemic immunity; vaccines; immune tolerance; autoimmunity; tumor immunology, and microbial immunopathology.

In addition to publishing significant original research, Nature Immunology also publishes comments, News and Views, research highlights, matters arising from readers and reviews of the literature, thus serving as the major conduit of top-quality information for the immunology community.

Nature Reviews Immunology

Nature Reviews Immunology provides in-depth coverage of all areas of immunology, from fundamental mechanisms to applied aspects. In addition to our review articles, we highlight recent developments and exciting new primary papers in the field, as well as reflecting on the people, papers and events that have influenced the development of immunology.

Nature Reviews Immunology is part of the Nature Reviews portfolio of journals and only publishes non-primary articles (such as Reviews, News & Views and Comment articles).
