Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Acute pancreatitis has potentially devastating consequences and no targeted drug therapy at present. The disease has rising incidence rates worldwide and severe forms of the disease carry a significant burden of morbidity and mortality. Through sustained research endeavors, multiple critical pathogenic mechanisms have been identified that play a role in disease pathogenesis; however, none have been translated to positive clinical trial results yet. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in acute pancreatitis, including the identification of the most promising novel pathogenic mechanisms and putative drug targets, biomarker discovery, and the assessment of unique diagnostic and prognostic tests, alongside the evaluation of original therapeutic approaches in preclinical settings. The Special Issue aims to emphasize key areas of therapeutic promise and highlight discoveries likely to be of significant future benefit in the treatment of disease.
