Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Chronic liver disease” refers to a disease of the liver lasting more than six months. A large variety of metabolic, viral and autoimmune diseases can cause chronic liver damage. These follow different patterns of liver injury, and can develop into cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma.
Although significant advances have been made in preventing liver disease, the global morbidity and mortality rate of liver diseases remains high. It is urgent to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the development of chronic liver diseases and to support the development of new therapeutic targets.
This Research Topic welcomes the submission of original research and review articles focusing on the most recent molecular and cellular mechanisms of chronic liver diseases. Submission should cover, but are not limited to, the following sub-topics:
- Novel mechanisms of chronic liver diseases, hepatocellular carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma;
- Technology and new tools in the study of chronic liver diseases;
- Novel therapeutic targets for chronic liver diseases;
- Autoimmune Liver Diseases;
- Role of the immune system in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD);
- Potential of immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC);
- Novel therapeutic approaches to chronic liver diseases;
- Inflammation regulation in chronic liver diseases;
- New biomarkers of liver diseases;
- Liver diseases and cancer.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
