Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hepatic injury is one of the common complications following many diseases, and it presents a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. The use of new research techniques has providing better knowledge in etiology and pathophysiology of hepatic dysfunction and its sequelae. In addition, the use of modern molecular biology and imaging techniques has made the diagnosis of liver disease easier and more precise. However, the causes of the development of liver complications for many diseases, both those primarily related to the liver and those that are not primarily related to liver damage remain largely unknown. To minimize the risk of hepatic complications in patients with primary or secondary liver dysfunction diseases, investigation of the molecular basis and genetic predisposition leading to liver damage is required. We hope that the results of these studies will provide diagnostic and prognostic molecular markers of various liver complications for the target diseases in the future. To prevent and treat serious complications, it is necessary to have good knowledge of the etiology and course of pathophysiological changes in the liver at the molecular level.
The aim of this Special Issue is to describe advancements in the comprehension of molecular mechanisms involved in the development of hepatic complications and determining the significance of molecular markers as possible diagnostic and prognostic factors of hepatic complications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
