Comparative effectiveness of adalimumab versus infliximab in children with Crohn's disease: real-world data from the prospective PIBD-SETQuality inception cohort study.
Crohn's & colitis 360

Comparative effectiveness of adalimumab versus infliximab in children with Crohn's disease: real-world data from the prospective PIBD-SETQuality inception cohort study.

This study compares two commonly used anti‑TNF biologics in children with Crohn’s disease using real‑world prospective data, so its findings are directly relevant to treatment choice, expectations for 1‑year remission,...

JAK1-preferential inhibition in refractory inflammatory bowel disease: reframing upadacitinib as a strategy for rapid immune recalibration.
Frontiers in immunology

JAK1-preferential inhibition in refractory inflammatory bowel disease: reframing upadacitinib as a strategy for rapid immune recalibration.

Upadacitinib is already used for some patients with UC and Crohn's; this article offers a structured way to think about why it can act quickly in refractory cases and what evidence would be needed to move from short‑term...

Intestinal epithelial SETD2 maintains gut microbial homeostasis to attenuate colitis.
Clinical and translational medicine

Intestinal epithelial SETD2 maintains gut microbial homeostasis to attenuate colitis.

Epigenetic control of intestinal epithelial cells can shape gut microbes and influence colitis severity; understanding SETD2’s role could point to new mechanistic targets for IBD research and microbiome-directed...

Innate immune recognition of Debaryomyces hansenii requires Dectin-1-Card9 signaling.
Infection and immunity

Innate immune recognition of Debaryomyces hansenii requires Dectin-1-Card9 signaling.

Researchers found that immune cells detect the gut-associated yeast Debaryomyces hansenii via Dectin-1 and Card9, and the yeast was enriched in Crohn’s disease ulcers. That suggests a possible microbial–immune link...

Epithelial-Intrinsic Alterations and Maladaptation to Luminal Metabolites Underlie Persistent Crohn's Disease Pathogenesis

If epithelial cells themselves retain disease-linked programs, that could help explain persistent intestinal abnormalities in Crohn’s disease even during remission and point to new biomarker or therapeutic targets...

Impact of Upper Gastrointestinal Involvement on Clinical Outcomes in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992)

Impact of Upper Gastrointestinal Involvement on Clinical Outcomes in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

UGI involvement in children with IBD was common and linked to a more severe disease course — lower remission rates and more frequent need for biologic therapy — which could affect monitoring and treatment planning.

Long-Term Feasibility, Adherence, and Exploratory Clinical Outcomes of Crohn’s Disease Exclusion Diet Plus Partial Enteral Nutrition in Adults with Crohn’s Disease

Diet-based therapies like CDED + PEN may help control Crohn’s symptoms and improve nutrition without adding medications. This study suggests some adults can maintain remission and gain nutritional benefits over a year...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Biomarker-Based Evaluation of Therapeutic Response

This review examines a noninvasive neuromodulation strategy (ta‑VNS) that might modulate immune and gut‑barrier biomarkers in IBD and could become an adjunctive therapy if validated in trials. Patients and clinicians may...

An Open-Label, Proof of Consent Study of Vorinostat for the Treatment of Mdoerate-to-Severe Crohn s Disease and Maintenance Therapy With Ustekinumab

People with moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease may be interested because the study explores a new, repurposed drug (vorinostat) that targets epigenetic and immune pathways and includes a plan to move responding...

Disparities in child height at the time of inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis.
Journal of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition

Disparities in child height at the time of inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis.

Shorter height at IBD diagnosis was more common in Hispanic/Latino children and those without private insurance, which may reflect inequities in timely diagnosis and access to nutrition and care—issues that can affect...

Time-dependent histopathological remodelling of the appendix in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Histopathology

Time-dependent histopathological remodelling of the appendix in patients with ulcerative colitis.

This study shows the appendix is often inflamed early in conventional UC and then remodels to fibrous obliteration over decades, implying the appendix may matter more in early disease. Differences between conventional UC...

Gut commensal Lachnospira eligens alleviates ulcerative colitis by mediating isodeoxycholic acid via the STAT3/NF-κB signaling pathway

The study identifies a specific gut microbe and a bile-acid metabolite that reduced inflammation in a mouse colitis model and implicates STAT3/NF-κB pathways — a potential new avenue for microbiome-based therapeutics for...

Histopathology

Time‐dependent histopathological remodelling of the appendix in patients with ulcerative colitis

The appendix in conventional UC appears to be inflamed early and then remodels to fibrous obliteration over decades, which could influence thinking about timing or rationale for appendectomy-based interventions.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety

Environmental pollutant UV-328 exacerbates chronic colitis and is associated with altered cholesterol metabolism.

The study links a common environmental pollutant (UV-328) to worsened experimental colitis and altered cholesterol metabolism, suggesting environmental exposures might influence IBD activity and could point to new...
