Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) are a group of conditions that feature active and chronic inflammatory in the gut: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main types of IBD. The prevalence of these conditions is increasing in many countries around the world. Although it is clear that various factors (including environmental, genetic, immune and microbial aspects) contribute to the cause of IBD, the pathogenesis of this condition is not yet fully understood. This Special Issue will focus upon the key aspects that contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD. Primary research or review articles are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Andrew DayGuest Editor
