This collection is intended to shed the light on several aspects of gut inflammation prone to local and systemic consequences, which are of interest to the large audience of Internists. The authors will bring the most updated information on pathogenic mechanisms responsible for the disruption of the delicate balance between external factors, the digestive system, and human health. The readers will learn more about several aspects involving inflammatory processes, i.e., gut neutrophils in systemic acute inflammation, gut barrier and mucosal inflammation, gut microbiota in systemic inflammation, neuro-inflammation and gut–brain axis disorders, gut inflammation, and tumorigenesis, as well as gut inflammatory markers and adipose tissue. Additional topics will focus on the links between diet, gut inflammation, metabolic disorders, and pancreatic diseases, as well as bile acid metabolism and gut inflammation, biliary barrier and liver inflammatory stress, and gallstone disease. Importantly, this Topical Collection is a call for further articles addressing the role of gut microbiota, digestive barrier, and inflammation in relation with human diseases.
