With nearly 45% of all deaths in the developed
world caused by chronic inflammatory and fibrogenic disorders the launch ofFibrogenesis & Tissue Repair
couldn’t be more significant;Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repairis the
first journal dedicated solely to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of
fibroproliferative disorders. Massimo Pinzani (Editor-in-Chief), an
internationally renowned expert in the field of liver fibrosis, explains that
the aim ofFibrogenesis & Tissue Repairis to “fill the gap in communication which exists
between scientists working on fibrogenesis and tissue repair in different
disciplines, allowing them to exchange ideas and to work on common targets”.
Professor Pinzani is supported by four Section Editors who are specialists in the
other main subject areas covered by the journal: Cory Hogaboam (pulmonary
disease); Michael
Zeisberg (renal disease); Stefanie
Dimmeler (cardiovascular disease); David Abraham (rheumatology and connective
tissue disease), and by an
internationalEditorial Board
