Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute in this special issue to improve our knowledge on gluten containing grains as major food antigens that result in coeliac disease, dermatitis Herpetiformis, wheat allergy and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) phenotypes. Even-though we know how systemic immune activation by increased intraepithelial T cells and cytokines react to gluten exposure, it is still unclear why the mucosal changes in coeliac disease are at such a variable range and not always correlated to the clinical presentations. This special issue has been dedicated to Professor Michael Marsh who passed away on 12 July 2021. He illuminated our insight on gluten induced pathological changes occurring within small intestine.
Professor Marsh’s fascination with coeliac disease goes back to just after first concept on coeliac disease histology when he acquired a degree in anatomy and cell biology from the University of Leeds, followed by a medical degree from the University of Oxford. His substantial contribution introduced the unique definition of remodelling of small intestinal mucosal immunopathology. This issue will focus on clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges with aspects outlined in the keyword below. We would like to cordially invite you to contribute with your original work, review and case studies to make this issue as special as before.
