Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gastrointestinal disorders such as gastrointestinal cancers and gastrointestinal inflammation are some of the most important health problems globally. Over the last few decades there has been an alarming increase in the overall prevalence of these complications. Despite extensive research efforts, we are still unable to provide precise solutions for the development of novel diagnostic and treatment methods for these problems. In the last decade, genomics and epigenomic advances have presented us with a plethora of knowledge. This has seen a significant increase in our understanding of the various gastrointestinal complications. The goal of this Research Topic is to provide insight into the new discoveries regarding molecular pathways and biomarkers that could improve the diagnosis and/or the prognostic classification of gastrointestinal inflammation and gastrointestinal cancers.
This Research Topic invites the submission of original research and review articles covering the given range of topics. The subject areas we wish to cover include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Colorectal cancer;
- Pancreatic cancer;
- Hepatocellular carcinoma;
- Gastric cancer;
- Esophageal cancer;
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD);
- Intestinal tight junction permeability.

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. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
