International Society for the Study of MALT

The International Society for the Study of MALT (Salivary and Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue) is a professional organization dedicated to research and understanding of MALT, a type of immune tissue located in mucous membranes like the salivary glands. MALT plays a key role in protecting the body's mucous surfaces from infections. The society facilitates collaboration among scientists and clinicians worldwide to improve diagnosis, treatment, and knowledge about diseases affecting these tissues, including certain lymphomas and autoimmune conditions. It promotes scientific exchange through meetings, publications, and educational initiatives.
