Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatic and gastrointestinal diseases are a broad category of conditions that affect the digestive system and the liver. Inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, gastro-oesophageal reflux, celiac disease, and liver diseases, such as fatty liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma, are caused by a variety of pathomechanisms that are not yet fully understood. The development of diagnostic tools, therapies, and interventions for the wide range of liver and gastrointestinal diseases requires an understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms. The discovery of non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis is another challenge. We continue to learn more about the mechanisms underlying liver and gastrointestinal diseases thanks to developments in molecular and cellular biology, which are also driving innovation in medical research and healthcare. Pathomechanisms, diagnostics, and treatment aspects of liver and gastrointestinal diseases in Germany are the main topics of this Special Issue. Manuscripts on other topics related to liver and gastrointestinal diseases not covered here will also be considered. Studies on the course of the various diseases and on their prevalence and trends over the last few years in Germany are also very welcome. We invite original research and review articles on all novel aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic and gastrointestinal diseases in Germany.
