Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing incidence rate of various liver diseases is induced by numerous factors and primarily include improper dietary habits, excessive alcohol consumption, the components of the metabolic syndrome such as obesity, or risky behaviors that might result in hepatitis. Although the abovementioned factors are commonly known to be associated with liver dysfunctions, current studies are mostly focused on the molecular mechanisms of liver diseases. Liver diseases might occur due to alcohol consumption, viral infection, or medicine. Further, the occurrence of various hepatic dysfunctions can be a result of genetic (Wilson’s disease, hemochromatosis) or autoimmune (cirrhosis, hepatitis) disorders. The abovementioned conditions could be better understood only by focusing on the pathomechanisms occurring on the molecular level that ultimately induce changes leading to these diseases. A better understanding of such processes will result in improvements in both diagnosis and treatment strategies for the chosen liver diseases.
The major objective of this Special Issue is to provide a space for discussion to clinicians and researchers whose studies are focused on the molecular aspects of the chosen liver diseases. This Special Issue aims to also provide a space for the results of novel studies that were performed to improve the diagnosis of liver diseases and, at the same time, provide novel therapeutic options for patients and expand the knowledge on liver disease pathophysiology. Therefore, we are elated to invite you to submit various types of papers including original papers and narrative and systematic reviews to this Special Issue.

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.
