Therapeutic Drugs and Delivery Strategies for Gastrointestinal Diseases
This special issue belongs to the section "Clinical Pharmaceutics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ailments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are commonly reported across the world in both adult and pediatric populations. The GI tract is home to a complex system of immune cells collectively called the mucosal immune system. In both states of health and disease, the mucosal immune system plays a crucial role in how the gastrointestinal tract operates on a daily basis. The therapies and pharmacologic agents used to treat mucosal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, Celiac disease, and eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic diseases, have improved in recent years. These newer agents, drug dosages, therapy forms, and therapeutic preparation still constitute areas of exploration and discovery. As science advances, the clinical application and placement of these therapies will be vital to understand as we begin to tailor individual therapy to each patient’s disease.
