Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases are prevalent worldwide, encompassing a broad spectrum of conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and functional dyspepsia. These conditions affect various parts of the digestive tract and represent a significant challenge in clinical practice. The field of GI diseases is rapidly advancing, with notable progress in understanding the underlying pathogenesis and developing innovative therapeutic strategies.

This Special Issue seeks to compile cutting-edge research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving GI diseases, along with the latest therapeutic approaches aimed at improving patient outcomes. We invite researchers and clinicians to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies that address various aspects of gastrointestinal diseases, including, but not limited to:

  1. Molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of GI diseases.
  2. The role of the gut microbiome in the development and progression of gastrointestinal disorders.
  3. Novel diagnostic biomarkers and imaging techniques for early detection.
  4. Advances in pharmacological treatments and targeted therapies.
  5. Immunological aspects and the role of inflammation in GI diseases.
  6. Innovative surgical techniques and their outcomes.
  7. The impact of diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors on GI health.

Submissions should contribute original findings, introduce novel methodologies, or provide in-depth reviews that enhance the existing body of knowledge. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary research that bridges basic science with clinical practice, aiming to translate findings into therapeutic interventions.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
