Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue entitled "Advances in the Management of Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases" highlights recent breakthroughs in the understanding and treatment of prevalent gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders, addressing critical challenges related to disease pathogenesis, early detection, and therapeutic innovation.
Recently, notable pharmacological progress has been made regarding metabolic-associated liver disease (MASH), hepatitis C, and the antifibrotic potential of salvianolic acid B in liver fibrosis. Significant advancements have also been achieved in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease through the development of monoclonal antibodies such as interleukin-23 and Janus kinase (Jak) inhibitors. Additional areas of focus include irritable bowel disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, reflux, Helicobacter pylori, and peptic ulcer disease. Moreover, noteworthy advancements have been made in screening for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), understanding the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and developing immune checkpoint blockade strategies for gastrointestinal malignancies. Furthermore, extensive progress in understanding the pathophysiology of these diseases has resulted in enhanced detection methods, risk assessment scores, and screening modalities.
This Special Issue aims to bridge the translational gaps between laboratory findings and clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of precision medicine, early diagnosis, and evidence-based strategies for the management of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. This Special Issue welcomes researchers, clinicians, and policymakers within the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, oncology, and public health, with the aim of fostering collaborations to address unmet needs in chronic liver disease, metabolic liver disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and gastrointestinal cancers.
