Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of "Immunological Aspects of Gastrointestinal Diseases" intends to be not just a collection of research findings but a platform that actively fosters academic exchange and collaboration within the field of gastrointestinal immunology topics, from fundamental immunology research to clinical applications. By focusing on the immunological dimension of gastrointestinal diseases as well as the intricate interplay between immune mechanisms and the onset, progression, and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, it consolidates the latest research findings from across the globe.
The gastrointestinal tract's mucosal immune system plays a pivotal role in defending against foreign pathogens, actively interacting with the gut microbiota, and maintaining immune tolerance in the gut. Therefore, this Special Issue will prioritize advancements in the immunological pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases, immune modulation strategies, and immunology-based therapeutic approaches. Additionally, it will explore the roles of key elements such as THE gut microbiota, immune cell subsets, and immune molecular networks in gastrointestinal diseases, offering novel insights and directions for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
