The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:
- Disease mechanisms across the gut-liver-brain axis
- Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with potential clinical impact
- Host interactions with microbes and diet
- Epithelial and immune pathobiology
- Novel endoscopic and tissue engineering techniques
- Clinical trials targeting disease mechanisms
- Bioelectrical devices for measuring and treating digestive functions
- Novel protocols for understanding gastrointestinal and hepatic dysfunction in humans or in translatable pre-clinical models
The journal offers more choice to Nature Portfolio authors who are seeking a fully open-access and more inclusive platform for publishing their work. The journal is led by gastrointestinal health experts who collaborate to cultivate high-quality research. As part of the npj Series, this journal focuses on fostering global partnerships with the research community and other Springer Nature journals.
