Hesperetin mitigates IBD-associated bone loss via Akkermansia muciniphila enrichment and IDA-driven gut-bone axis crosstalk.
Journal of orthopaedic translation

Hesperetin mitigates IBD-associated bone loss via Akkermansia muciniphila enrichment and IDA-driven gut-bone axis crosstalk.

People with IBD are at increased risk of bone loss; this study points to a microbiome-related pathway (A. muciniphila and an IDA metabolite) that might protect bone in an experimental colitis model, which could...

Dietary oat β-glucan attenuates TNBS-induced colitis-associated hepatic redox and inflammatory disturbances via the gut-liver axis.
International journal of biological macromolecules

Dietary oat β-glucan attenuates TNBS-induced colitis-associated hepatic redox and inflammatory disturbances via the gut-liver axis.

The gut–liver axis links intestinal inflammation to liver disturbances in IBD. This preclinical study suggests a specific oat β‑glucan fraction reduced liver oxidative stress and inflammation in rats with chemically...

The IKKε-GABPA axis regulates STING transcription to orchestrate antiviral immunity and inflammation.
The Journal of experimental medicine

The IKKε-GABPA axis regulates STING transcription to orchestrate antiviral immunity and inflammation.

The work links a specific transcriptional regulator (GABPA) to STING-driven interferon and inflammatory responses and shows relevance to IBD and SLE patient samples, pointing to a potential new target for therapies aimed...

Identification of CD40 as the target of artemisinin via targeted degradomics for ulcerative colitis.
Bioorganic chemistry

Identification of CD40 as the target of artemisinin via targeted degradomics for ulcerative colitis.

This study suggests an existing antimalarial drug, artemisinin, may reduce inflammation and improve gut barrier function in a mouse model of ulcerative colitis by targeting CD40 — a pathway relevant to immune-driven gut...

Low Phase angle is a marker of deteriorated nutritional status and indicates a more active and endoscopically severe inflammatory bowel disease.

Phase angle, an easy-to-measure BIA parameter, was lower in IBD patients with malnutrition and higher disease activity. Detecting malnutrition earlier could matter for patients' strength, healing, and overall outcomes.
