Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair: a new journal launches with BioMed Central

With nearly 45% of all deaths in the developed world caused by chronic inflammatory and fibrogenic disorders the launch of Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair couldn’t be more significant; Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair is 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 of Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair is 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 international Editorial Board

To mark the launch of Fibrogenesis & Tissue Repair we will be distributing a special inaugural print issue at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW, stand 75; Vienna, 18th-24th October) and the American College of Rheumatology annual meeting (ACR, stand 1221; San Francisco 24th-29th October). Please do come along and pick up a copy if you are attending either of these meetings.
