Special Issue on Pancreas and Liver Diseases

The pancreas is a long, flat gland that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. It releases powerful digestive enzymes into our small intestine to help us digest food. It also releases insulin and glucagon into our bloodstream. These hormones help our body control how it uses food for energy. The liver is responsible for many critical functions and should it become diseased or damaged, the loss of those functions can cause significant damage to the body. Signs and symptoms of liver disease include: jaundice, swelling, chronic fatigue, nausea or vomiting, poor appetite and so on.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Pancreas and Liver Diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Acute pancreatitis
• Chronic pancreatitis
• Pancreatic cancer
• Pancreatic disorder & therapy
• Liver cirrhosis
• Hepatitis
• Hepatic surgery
• Hepatocellular carcinoma
• Liver failure

• Symptoms, causes and treatment

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Pancreas and Liver Diseases” should be selected during your submission.
