Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a frequently encountered daily condition in clinical practice, yet we are still quite uninformed on many aspects—both pathophysiological and therapeutic—of this syndrome. The recent Rome criteria raised some controversial issues, and there are several pathophysiological studies exploring the possible basic mechanisms of this condition. Additionally, the pharmacological research is quite active in this field, and several new options are now available for IBS patients, in addition to those in the pipeline for the coming years. This Topical Collection aims to present the latest research in the IBS field, from physiological, pathophysiological, and therapeutic points of view, to provide recent insights into this fascinating entity.
