Epigenetic modulation of stromal cell states underpins pathological tissue niches in Crohn's disease

The paper maps distinct stromal cell states tied to inflamed versus fibrotic tissue niches in Crohn’s disease and shows that these states have different chromatin configurations and drug-modifiable properties — pointing...

Nanoengineered RNA delivery systems for gene therapy in intestinal fibrosis.
Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society

Nanoengineered RNA delivery systems for gene therapy in intestinal fibrosis.

Intestinal fibrosis causes strictures and surgery in many people with Crohn's disease; new RNA-based antifibrotic strategies delivered by nanocarriers could offer non-surgical treatment options in the future if they can...

γδ T cells exacerbate intestinal fibrosis in mice with experimental colitis via activation of the CD73-adenosine receptor-cyclic AMP signaling pathway

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...

Cryptogenic Multifocal Ulcerating Stenosing Enteritis (CMUSE) in a Patient with Down Syndrome: A Case Report

CMUSE can closely mimic Crohn's disease and may require surgery for diagnosis and symptom relief. Recognizing it can change diagnostic pathways and multidisciplinary management for people with recurrent small-bowel...

A bile acid-GPBAR1 network supports anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic benefits of probiotics in colitis.

Fibrosis and stricturing are key problems in Crohn’s disease with limited therapies; this study identifies a microbiota–bile acid–GPBAR1 pathway by which a specific probiotic mix reduced inflammation and fibrosis in...

Balloon-assisted endoscopic stricturotomy for small bowel fibrostenotic strictures: A comparison of Crohn’s disease-related and non-Crohn’s disease strictures
World Journal of Gastroenterology

Balloon-assisted endoscopic stricturotomy for small bowel fibrostenotic strictures: A comparison of Crohn’s disease-related and non-Crohn’s disease strictures

Patients with small-bowel strictures face repeat procedures or surgery; this study suggests endoscopic stricturotomy outcomes differ by whether the stricture is from Crohn’s disease and that a simple blood marker (NLR)...

Modulating Microbial Choline Degradation to Prevent and Treat Intestinal Fibrosis in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Intestinal fibrosis and strictures remain a major cause of surgery and obstruction in Crohn’s disease, and current anti-inflammatory drugs don’t reliably prevent fibrosis. If microbial choline degradation promotes...

Intestinal Fibrosis in IBD: Rethinking the Inflammatory Paradigm and Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities.

Intestinal fibrosis causes strictures that can lead to obstruction and often require surgery; current drugs mainly reduce inflammation and do not reliably prevent or reverse fibrosis. Advances in understanding fibrosis...

Palisade Bio to Present Data on PDE4 Inhibitor PALI-2108 for Fibrostenotic Crohn's Disease ...

Fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease (intestinal strictures from scar tissue) has few non-surgical treatment options. An investigational drug aimed at fibrosis could eventually offer a medical alternative to surgery if research...
