International Day of Immunology

Recent advances in biomedical research have made it increasingly evident that the immune system and the brain are profoundly interconnected. Traditionally viewed as distinct, these two complex systems are now understood to engage in constant and dynamic communication. While the immune system can contribute to the development and progression of neurological disorders, it also plays a critical role in their prevention, management, and potential cure.

Each year on April 29, the world celebrates the Day of Immunology — a global effort to raise awareness about the vital importance of the immune system in health and disease. The theme for 2025, "Brain and Immunity: Immunological Insights into Neurological Disorders," highlights how closely linked the nervous and immune systems are, particularly in conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. These discoveries are reshaping our understanding of neurological diseases, shifting from a purely neurological approach toward a multidisciplinary model that places immunological mechanisms at the forefront of both research and treatment strategies.

At USERN, we are committed to supporting and promoting interdisciplinary research that bridges essential scientific fields. We believe that true innovation emerges at the intersection of disciplines, and the evolving field of psychoneuroimmunology perfectly embodies this spirit of collaboration and integration.

In line with this year’s theme, we are pleased to introduce one of USERN’s latest significant contributions to this field: "Psychoneuroimmunology" (2 Volumes) — a comprehensive work that delves into the intricate connection between psychology, immunology, neurology, and neuroscience.
This publication not only presents the foundational concepts and emerging theories of psychoneuroimmunology but also explores their clinical applications. By offering a deeper understanding of how psychological and physiological systems interact, it paves the way for the development of novel diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, and theoretical models.

Psychoneuroimmunology, as an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field, holds great promise for advancing our understanding of complex disorders that cannot be fully explained through a single scientific lens. Considering the global rise in neuropsychiatric, metabolic, and immune-related disorders, exacerbated by increasingly stressful lifestyles, the insights provided by psychoneuroimmunology are not only timely but essential. This integrated approach may significantly contribute to reducing the burden of chronic diseases and improving global public health.

At USERN, we are dedicated to fostering groundbreaking research and promoting educational initiatives that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our extensive collection of articles, papers, and books related to immunology, affiliated with USERN, reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing science without borders.

We invite researchers, students, and healthcare professionals to explore these resources and join us in celebrating the Day of Immunology 2025 — a day to honor the immune system’s critical role in maintaining health, driving innovation, and shaping the future of medicine.

Together, we can advance a healthier, more innovative future.
