Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gut inflammation is a normal physiological process for host defense, but chronic intestinal inflammation can promote conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases and colorectal cancer. In addition to this, gut inflammation also mediates many diseases and exacerbates inflammatory disease in other organs, such as the liver, lung, skin, and brain. Gut inflammation is modulated by gut microbiota. Gut microbiota may trigger inflammation in the intestinal tissue through cross-talk with hosts via microbial metabolites/toxins and the intestinal immune microenvironment. Therefore, we encourage researchers who are studying basic research and treatment mechanisms to submit research and review papers to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue encourages the submission of not only basic and therapeutic mechanism research on the gut, but also disease phenotype and mechanism research in other organs with inflammatory disorders that can be mediated by gut inflammation. Papers published in the IJMS (International Journal of Molecular Sciences) are encouraged to include results at the molecular level.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
