Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Liver disease has many different types. There are a variety of factors that can cause liver disease, such as genetic factors, viral infection, alcohol use, exposure to toxins and certain chemicals, smoking, diet, the misuse or overdose of medicine, autoimmune diseases, etc. Without appropriate treatment, acute liver disease can turn into chronic liver disease, which can lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer, leading to liver failure. Although significant advances have been made in relation to liver disease over the last several decades, liver disease remains a global burden and is responsible for approximately 2 million deaths each year worldwide. Thus, a better understanding of the etiology, pathology, and cutting-edge strategies used for the treatment of liver disease is highly needed, and the identification of mechanisms accounting for liver disease and novel therapeutic strategies is necessary for the cure of liver disease clinically. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to provide the latest findings that allow us to disseminate invaluable research studies or clinical trials related to the etiology, pathology, and treatment of liver disease. We welcome any high-quality systemic reviews and original research articles.
