rfaG-dependent cell envelope biogenesis supports type 1 fimbrial expression and intestinal colonization in adherent-invasive Escherichia coli.
Microbiology (Reading, England)

rfaG-dependent cell envelope biogenesis supports type 1 fimbrial expression and intestinal colonization in adherent-invasive Escherichia coli.

The study highlights a bacterial gene that helps adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) colonize the gut — a mechanism that has been linked to Crohn's disease. Understanding how AIEC colonizes could guide future research into...

Evolving patient journey in the management of active perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: A temporal perspective.
Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland

Evolving patient journey in the management of active perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease: A temporal perspective.

The findings show earlier and more frequent use of imaging, endoscopic assessment, anti-TNF therapy, and seton placement for active perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease over recent years — practices that may affect...

Parkinson's disease-associated LRRK2 G2019S enhances intestinal neutrophil extracellular trap formation through RAB10–myeloperoxidase signaling and promotes enteric α-synuclein accumulation

The work links a PD risk gene (LRRK2 G2019S) to increased intestinal NET formation and enteric α-synuclein in mouse colitis, suggesting a neutrophil-mediated inflammatory route by which gut inflammation and microbiota...

Exploring spiritual needs in inflammatory bowel disease: a qualitative study protocol adopting the think-aloud method.

Spiritual and existential concerns can affect coping and quality of life for people with IBD, but these needs are rarely assessed systematically. Validated, culturally adapted questionnaires could help clinicians and...

World Journal of Hepatology

Peribiliary and colonic crypt glands in primary sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis: New research perspectives

PSC frequently occurs with IBD and has unclear origins; understanding a shared glandular mechanism could help explain the link and point to new research targets relevant to both liver and colon disease.

CD226 associates with interferon and inflammatory programs in intestinal γδ T and group 3 innate lymphoid cells in Crohn's disease.
Biochemical and biophysical research communications

CD226 associates with interferon and inflammatory programs in intestinal γδ T and group 3 innate lymphoid cells in Crohn's disease.

The study points to CD226 (DNAM-1) being linked to inflammatory and interferon-driven programs in specific intestinal immune cells in Crohn's disease, which may be relevant to understanding disease mechanisms or...
