Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, entitled “Emerging Trends in Liver Diseases and Cirrhosis Research”. Liver diseases remain a growing global health challenge, with cirrhosis being one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The clinical landscape is rapidly changing, driven by the rising prevalence of metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), autoimmune conditions like primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and persistent viral hepatitis. At the same time, advances in diagnostic tools, molecular understanding, and therapeutic strategies are providing new hope for earlier intervention and better outcomes. This Special Issue provides an opportunity to highlight recent advancements and emerging frontiers in hepatology research.
We aim to gather cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews focusing on new developments in the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and management of cirrhosis. Special attention will be given to innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of MASLD, PBC, and other chronic liver conditions. The collection aligns with the journal's commitment to publishing high-quality research that advances clinical and scientific understanding of complex disease processes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
