Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue delves into the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying pancreatic diseases, highlighting advances in the understanding of these pathologies and therapeutic strategies. Unravelling the complexities of the pathophysiological mechanisms of pancreatic diseases by focusing on the search for molecular markers, genetic predispositions, and cellular interactions is pertintent to this. By bridging the gap between molecular pathology and clinical applications, this issue aims to foster new diagnostic tools and treatments that improve patient outcomes. Contributions from diverse disciplines are expected to provide a comprehensive perspective on pancreatic diseases, with an emphasis on translational research that could lead to advances in the treatment of diseases such as pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and acute and chronic pancreatitis. Original research papers and review articles are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Maria Ines Vaccaro
Guest Editor
