Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic diseases with periods of activity and remission. Despite the great progress made in understanding the etiology of IBD, it is not fully elucidated. However, many studies point to important genetic, environmental, and immunological factors in the occurrence of these conditions. Understanding the molecular and immunological mechanisms in the pathogenesis process can influence the therapeutic process.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to deepen knowledge and gather information on molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disease and also to present the complete current situation of this field and its future prospects.
To ensure the diversity of approaches and viewpoints among authors, we will collect different types of articles, such as original articles, systematic reviews, and communications.
