Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a major global health problem, affecting an estimated 844 million people worldwide. In fact, CLD caused by viral infections, alcohol/drug abuse, or metabolic disorders has increased mortality. These conditions lead to ongoing hepatocellular damage, culminating in liver fibrosis. The hepatocyte response to inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of liver fibrosis, involving the recruitment of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cells, as well as the production of various cytokines and chemokines that stimulate hepatic stellate cells. Despite the substantial burden of CLD, the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of liver disease that drive these conditions remain incomplete. Therefore, this issue aims to provide new insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in CLD.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
