Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent technological advances unravel many molecular, cellular, genetic, immunological, and microbiological aspects of the gastrointestinal tract functions in health and disease. These discoveries have important implications for a better understanding of basic mechanisms that maintain the physiological homeostasis of the gut. Malfunctioning of these fine-tuned molecular mechanisms leads to the onset and progression of gastrointestinal disorders. Understanding the molecular mechanisms and pathways is the turning point toward the development of novel diagnostic approaches and therapies for gastrointestinal disorders. Led by Prof Kulmira Nurgali and Dr Ainsley Robinson and assisted by our promotion editor, Dr Nyanbol Kuol (University of Nevada, Reno, US), this Special Issue of IJMS, “Molecular Research of Gastrointestinal Disease, 3rd Edition”, welcomes basic and clinical original research and review papers to be submitted for peer review. The submitted papers can cover any aspects of molecular research relevant to a broad range of gastrointestinal disorders.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Molecular mechanisms of gastrointestinal functions in health and disease;
- Molecular targets for therapeutic intervention;
- Molecular markers for diagnostics of gastrointestinal disorders.

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.
