Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical and basic research and management of chronic hepatitis B virus infection have progressed much in the last decade. In this Special Issue, “Research on Hepatitis B Virus: Past, Present, and Future”, we will review the natural history of chronic hepatitis B, current guidelines, recent basic and clinical research, and current and future therapies. Experts in these fields will be invited to introduce their data and opinions. We hope the upcoming issue will help you to better understand the disease and achieve further progress in your research.
