Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in molecular biology, immunology, microbiome research, and surgical innovation have transformed our understanding of the pathophysiology of gastrointestinal diseases and opened new avenues for diagnosis and treatment. This Special Issue, “Gastrointestinal Diseases: From Pathophysiology to Innovative Therapeutic Approaches,” aims to gather original research articles, reviews, and translational insights that explore the underlying mechanisms and emerging strategies for managing gastrointestinal disorders. Topics of interest include—but are not limited to—benign and malignant gastrointestinal diseases, inflammatory conditions, microbiota–host interactions, immunological responses, diagnostic biomarkers, and multidisciplinary treatment paradigms. By bringing together contributions from clinicians, researchers, and basic scientists, this Special Issue seeks to foster a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape and future directions in the field. We especially welcome collaborative and integrative approaches that bridge bench-to-bedside gaps and contribute to personalized medicine.
Dr. Francisco Tustumi
Guest Editor
