Emerging Talents in Frontiers in Pharmacology: Gastrointestinal and Hepatic Pharmacology 2025

Given the success of the 2022 Research Topic series 'Emerging Talents in Frontiers in Pharmacology: Gastrointestinal and Hepatic Pharmacology 2022', we are pleased to launch a 2025 volume for further submissions.

In the dynamic field of Gastrointestinal and Hepatic Pharmacology, students worldwide are delving into significant research during their academic journeys. These endeavors often showcase innovative methodologies and findings crucial for the advancement of the field. Despite their potential impact, much of this student-conducted research remains underexposed, primarily due to the intimidating nature of the peer-review process. Addressing this, Frontiers in Pharmacology has introduced an interactive peer-review system. This approach nurtures student researchers by providing supportive feedback and guidance—a crucial step tailored to cultivate fledgling scientists and integrate them into the broader scientific community.

This Research Topic aims to spotlight these emerging scholars and trailblazers in Gastrointestinal and Hepatic Pharmacology. With a commitment from Topic Editors to foster talent, this article collection is not just about featuring high-quality, diverse research, but also about following the promising careers of these early researchers. It serves as a platform for them to gain recognition, encouraging their progress and success in scientific publications.

• To gather further insights within this specialized field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Experimental and clinical pharmacology concerning the alimentary tract, liver, biliary tree, and pancreas.

• Drug effects, mechanisms, and therapeutic uses, including novel pharmacological target identifications.

• Contributions to our understanding of gastrointestinal sensations, motor functions, and systemic impacts of gastrointestinal health.

• Innovative studies on cell growth, immune responses, fibrogenesis, carcinogenesis, and digestive secretions in gastrointestinal and hepatic systems.

By highlighting these emerging leaders, this Research Topic will not only broaden the visibility of their work but also encourage a supportive community atmosphere, ensuring that financial hurdles do not impede the contribution of valuable insights to the scientific discourse.

Keywords: experimental pharmacology, clinical pharmacology, gut-brain axis, alimentary tract, liver, biliary tree, pancreas, mode of action, novel compounds, nutraceuticals, probiotics

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
