Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatobiliary disease (HBD) occurs in the liver and biliary tract and is caused by various risk factors, such as infection, toxins, metabolic disorders, alcohol intake, and heart failure. Severe or chronic damage to the hepatobiliary system can result in tissue fibrosis, which can progress to cirrhosis and eventually lead to life-threatening conditions such as liver failure and hepatobiliary cancer. Hence, early intervention for HBD is important to prevent HBD from progressing to end-stage HBD. Although significant progress has been made in overcoming HBD through extensive research over the past few decades, it has also been revealed that the pathogenesis of HBD is complex and needs further investigation. This Special Issue will focus on understanding the cellular and molecular pathogenesis of HBD, which greatly contributes to the development of novel therapeutic strategies that are more specific and effective for the treatment of HBD patients. Authors are invited to submit original research or review articles related to this Special Issue.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Risk factors related to the development of HBD;
- Novel cellular and molecular mechanisms of HBD pathogenesis;
- Potential biomarkers for predicting the progression and response to therapy of HBD;
- Currently available therapies for the treatment of HBD and future directions.

Manuscript Submission Information
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.
