Handheld IUS could make noninvasive bowel assessment faster and more accessible for people with IBD, helping with triage and short-term monitoring without immediately resorting to endoscopy or advanced imaging.
Fibrosis causes strictures and surgery in many people with Crohn’s disease; a new immune pathway linked to fibrosis could point to future treatments. This study shows that γδ T cells and CD73-mediated adenosine signaling...
Many people with Crohn’s disease have ongoing inflammation despite stable medication. If dietary personalization can reduce inflammation, it could offer a nonpharmacologic add-on to help bridge gaps without immediate...

This paper highlights the emotional and social aftermath of colectomy and J‑pouch surgery for people with ulcerative colitis, a topic that directly affects patients facing or living with these procedures.
Mental health problems often begin before IBD is diagnosed and stay higher for years after; addressing psychiatric symptoms early could improve overall disease management and quality of life for people with Crohn’s...
Surgical choices for ulcerative colitis—permanent ileostomy versus ileal pouch (IPAA)—lead to very different daily-life outcomes. Understanding risks and lifestyle tradeoffs and using shared decision-making helps...
Immigrants with IBD reported substantial barriers to care — language gaps, work-related limits on attending appointments, and cultural concerns — which can hinder disease management. Recognizing these issues can help...
IOIBD’s consensus frameworks and educational programs shape how IBD is studied and treated worldwide — affecting trial design, treatment goals, patient-reported outcome measures, and clinical guidance that patients and...
This study highlights that people who go on to develop myasthenia gravis had higher rates of other autoimmune diagnoses in the years beforehand, which may be relevant for clinicians tracking autoimmune comorbidity...

This study expands knowledge of UC genetics in an understudied Indian population and points to genes and pathways that could help explain disease mechanisms different from those identified in Western cohorts. That could...
Real‑world studies of ustekinumab help patients and clinicians understand how the drug performs outside clinical trials, including effectiveness for steroid‑free remission and use across different UK care settings.
Finding shared genes (CLDN8, ABCA12) suggests common inflammatory mechanisms between ulcerative colitis and psoriasis, which could inform future biomarkers or therapies relevant to patients with either or both...
The work helps bridge genetic association signals and the specific immune cells in the intestine where they may act, offering new candidate genes and a method that can probe rare cell types important to IBD biology.
This profile shows how someone with Crohn’s disease can continue competitive athletic pursuits while managing the condition. It highlights common issues for people with IBD—remission, stress-related flares,...
Mapping 3D genome contacts in rare gut immune cells connects Crohn’s disease genetic risk variants to specific genes and pathways, which can clarify disease mechanisms and guide future drug-target research. The study...
ILC3s are rare but important for gut immunity; linking Crohn’s disease genetic risk to the genes they regulate helps move from statistical association toward biological mechanisms that could explain disease pathways.
This study helps move beyond assigning GWAS risk variants to the nearest gene by mapping 3D promoter contacts in gut-enriched ILC3s, so it uncovers new candidate genes and pathways that could explain Crohn’s and other...
The study helps explain how noncoding genetic variants may influence Crohn’s disease by altering 3D genome interactions in rare gut-associated immune cells (ILC3s), pointing to new genes and pathways that could be...
This research links a specific gut-associated yeast to activation of innate immune pathways (Dectin-1–Card9) that drive inflammatory signaling. For people with Crohn disease, it suggests fungal members of the gut...
People with Crohn’s disease may benefit from research that identifies the specific genes and immune pathways driving inflammation — this study points to over 100 genes in gut ILC3 cells that could explain how genetic...
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...

High out-of-pocket costs and insurance practices can force people with Crohn’s and other chronic autoimmune diseases to delay or stop biologic therapy, which has direct consequences for disease control and quality of...
The study identifies macrophage-derived microvesicles as modulators of intestinal barrier function and ER stress in ulcerative colitis models, suggesting a new mechanism that could be relevant to mucosal healing...
If confirmed, an endocytoscopic appearance that corresponds to a specific miRNA and chemokine pattern could help clinicians assess mucosal inflammation during colonoscopy and prioritize biopsies or treatment decisions...
Patients with Crohn's reported more relapses and are more likely to see diet as a relapse trigger; nutritional therapy (including elemental diets) is used more often in Crohn's than UC in this Japanese sample. This...
