Liver Diseases: From Molecular Mechanism to Therapeutic Aspect

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, many studies have made it possible to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying viral, autoimmune, and neoplastic pathologies of the liver and therefore to be able to develop targeted therapies. This has made it possible to modify the natural history of liver diseases by reducing their complications and increasing survival. 

In this Special Issue, we want to focus on the molecular mechanisms that underlie the main hepatic diseases from HCV, HBV, autoimmune diseases (AH) such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and their complications (cirrhosis, portal hypertension, hepatorenal, hepato-pulmonary and hepato-cardiac syndrome, acute on chronic liver failure, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis), as well as the mechanisms that underlie hepatocarcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma by evaluating their therapeutic implications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
