Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Gastrointestinal Diseases: From Pathophysiology to Therapeutics”, will provide a platform for cutting-edge research on the mechanisms and management of gastrointestinal disorders. It will highlight advances in our understanding of disease pathogenesis, including mucosal immunology, gut–brain interactions, microbiome dysbiosis, and barrier dysfunction, as well as innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics. We welcome original research and reviews covering topics such as inflammatory bowel disease, functional GI disorders, gastrointestinal cancers, microbiome-targeted therapies, biomaterial-based interventions, and novel pharmacological approaches. Submissions that integrate basic science with clinical applications are particularly encouraged. This issue aims to showcase interdisciplinary studies that translate mechanistic insights into improved patient outcomes, fostering collaboration across gastroenterology, immunology, microbiology, bioengineering, and pharmacology.
