SCICONX Journal of cellular Immunology and Tissue Engineering

The SCICONX Journal of Cellular Immunology and Tissue Engineering (JCITE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by SCICONX Publishing Group. The journal is dedicated to advancing fundamental, translational, and applied research at the convergence of cellular immunology, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and immune-engineering.

JCITE serves as a focused platform for scientists, clinicians, and engineers working to understand how immune cells, signalling pathways, and microenvironments influence tissue development, repair, regeneration, and engineered constructs. By integrating immunological principles with tissue engineering strategies, the journal aims to support innovations that lead to safer, more effective regenerative therapies and biomaterial-based interventions.

✦ Journal Vision

The vision of JCITE is to become a leading global forum for interdisciplinary research that bridges immune biology and tissue engineering. The journal aspires to shape future directions in regenerative immunology by promoting research that elucidates immune–tissue interactions and translates these discoveries into clinical and technological advancements.

✦ Aims and Scope

JCITE aims to publish high-quality, original contributions that explore the dynamic interactions between immune systems, cells, biomaterials, and engineered tissues. The journal welcomes studies ranging from molecular and cellular mechanisms to preclinical and clinical investigations.

Key focus areas include, but are not limited to:

• Cellular and molecular immunology relevant to tissue repair and regeneration
• Immune regulation of stem cells and progenitor cells
• Immunomodulatory biomaterials and scaffolds
• Tissue engineering strategies influenced by immune responses
• Inflammation, immune tolerance, and foreign body responses
• Immuno-engineering and immune-inspired design principles
• 3D cell culture systems, organoids, and immune modelling platforms
• Cell-based and gene-based regenerative therapies
• Wound healing, fibrosis, and tissue remodelling
• Translational and clinical applications of regenerative immunology
