Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver diseases encompass a broad range of conditions characterized by impaired liver function due to various etiologies, including viral infections, metabolic and genetic disorders, drug toxicity, alcohol abuse, and other factors. Despite significant advances in understanding these disorders, our knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying many liver diseases remains incomplete. Given the limited therapeutic options currently available, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of the cellular and molecular biology driving disease progression. This knowledge is essential for identifying novel therapeutic targets and advancing treatment strategies.
For this Special Issue “Cellular and Molecular Biology of Liver Diseases”, we encourage the submission of research articles that expand our knowledge of the cellular or molecular mechanisms of liver diseases. We welcome both research articles and relevant reviews that cover the aforementioned subjects.
Dr. Matthew McMillin
Guest Editor
