Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have brought remarkable progress in understanding the role of nutrition as a therapeutic tool in gastrointestinal diseases. Nutritional therapy is no longer limited to supportive care but is rather becoming a key component of precision medicine, targeting specific metabolic, inflammatory, and microbiome-related mechanisms. Assessment of the gut microbiome is an important and useful tool in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of many diseases.
This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge advances in nutritional interventions—from molecular and cellular mechanisms to translational and clinical applications—in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, functional gastrointestinal disorders, liver diseases, and metabolic-associated gut dysfunctions. We invite original research and comprehensive reviews that explore novel biomarkers, dietary components, microbiota-driven effects, and clinical outcomes of innovative nutritional strategies. By integrating basic and clinical science, this Special Issue aims to provide a multidimensional view of how nutritional approaches can shape future diagnostics and therapeutics in gastroenterology.
