Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are currently crucial pathologies. We still do not know their exact origin, and despite the ongoing era of biologics in their treatment, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis tend to be somehow unpredictable in their course. Furthermore, they concern mostly young people, significantly affecting the quality of everyday life. We gather continuously more information related to IBDs; nevertheless, some essential issues are still to be resolved. To emphasize the current role of IBDs and to explore molecular pathways involved in their development, we highly encourage you to publish in the Special Issue of Biomedicines titled Emerging Issue of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
The scope of the manuscripts should be related to the following topics:
- Original data on novel markers in the diagnosis IBDs and in the prediction of their flare up;
- Possible new indicators of the positive treatment response;
- New approaches in the management of IBDs, including combinations of biologics;
- Markers predicting the natural history of IBDs;
- Comorbidities observed in patients with IBDs and the general outcome in this population;
- The context of colorectal cancer in patients with IBDs;
- Future perspectives for IBDs, including medical and social aspects.
